9. Sons, Not Slaves: Resting in Your Identity in Christ

So many of us know the truth in our heads: “I’m a child of God.” But living out of that reality in our daily lives? That’s another story. In this heartfelt episode of Believe & Become, Josh and Corina open up about their own journeys of moving from performance-driven faith to resting in God’s love as His sons and daughters. Through scripture, personal stories, and even a simple lesson learned from taking out the trash with a 6-year-old, they unpack what it means to be: Sons and daughters, not slaves Friends of God who co-labor with Him Abiding in Christ rather than striving for approval Fully loved—not because of what you do, but because of who you are Whether you’ve battled perfectionism, felt pressure to “do more” for God, or struggled to rest in His love, this conversation will help you step deeper into your identity and discover the freedom of working with God, not for Him. Scripture Highlights John 15:15 – “I no longer call you servants… I have called you friends.” Ephesians 2:6 – Seated with Christ in heavenly places Romans 5:8 – While we were still sinners, Christ died for us Matthew 3:17 – “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.” Resources Mentioned Coaching with Josh & Corina Transformed by Truth book 40 Days to Peace devotional Support our podcast Subscribe, review, and share this episode with a friend who needs a reminder that they are deeply loved by God.
