4. Am I Accepted?

from Dr. Jim Richards · host Dr. Jim Richards

Most people are trying to change their behavior, but they never experience real transformation because they’ve never settled on who they are in their heart. In this message, I talk about what it really means to discover your God-given identity and step into a life of dignity, worth, and purpose. Lasting change doesn’t come from willpower. It comes from identity. The Bible says in Proverbs 23:7, “As he thinks in his heart, so is he.” When your heart is established in what God says about you, everything begins to change: your choices, your emotions, and the direction of your life. I explain why desire plays a powerful role in who you become, how your identity is shaping your everyday experience, and what it means to connect with the hidden man of the heart (1 Peter 3:4). I also show you how false identities are formed and how to break free from them so you can live as the person God created you to be. This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about uncovering who you’ve always been in Christ. If you’ve felt stuck, frustrated, or like something is missing, this message will help you reconnect with the truth that sets you free.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
