Podcast Summary:

In this episode of the As in Heaven podcast, Bryan explores the profound concept of Kingdom Identity with Matt and Bryn. 

The episode opens with a reflection on how early childhood dress-up games reflect our longing to shape our identity and who we become. However, Bryan and Bryn challenge the notion that a Christian's identity is easily defined by worldly standards, emphasizing the transformation that comes with embracing our true identity as sons and daughters of God. 

Through personal stories, Bryan shares his journey from being a lukewarm Christian to living out a Kingdom worldview, and Bryn recounts how understanding her identity in Christ radically reshaped her life. 

Together, they dive into the implications of moving from an "orphan" mindset to one of spiritual sonship, where true belonging and purpose are found in Jesus. This episode invites listeners to rediscover their Kingdom identity and live out of the abundance that comes from being deeply rooted in Christ.

Key Takeaways:

1. Kingdom Identity vs. Worldly Identity: True transformation begins when Christians stop living with one foot in the world and fully embrace their Kingdom identity.


2. The Orphan Spirit: Many Christians live with an orphan mindset, impacting how they view themselves and approach their relationship with God.


3. Adoption Into Sonship: Being adopted into God's family through Christ changes everything, offering a new lens through which we see ourselves and others.


4. Prayer and Intimacy: Prayer isn't just about asking for things; it's about engaging deeply with the heart of God and aligning with His will.


5. Living as Conduits of Heaven: Christians are not containers, but conduits of God's presence, called to let His love and power flow through them to the world.
