K2C 73 - The Battle for Your Identity, Part 1: How Satan Uses Lies to Keep Believers Bound

Who gets to tell you who you are? Many Christians know intellectually what Scripture says about their identity in Christ. We know we are loved, forgiven, accepted, and redeemed. Yet old wounds from rejection, abandonment, betrayal, shame, fear, and failure can leave us believing things about ourselves that God never said. In Part 1 of this series, Tracy Tennant explores the spiritual battle over identity and how the enemy can exploit painful experiences to reinforce lies that eventually begin to sound like our own thoughts. She shares part of her own journey of searching for belonging—from childhood feelings of being the outsider, through Mormonism, and ultimately to discovering that our true identity cannot be rooted in a family name, a church, our accomplishments, our wounds, or our past. It must be rooted in Christ. This episode also explores the important difference between knowing biblical truth intellectually and allowing that truth to reach the wounded places of the heart. Inner healing isn't about endlessly revisiting the past or cultivating a victim identity. It's about allowing Jesus to expose the lies attached to our wounds and replace them with truth. Because the enemy doesn't have to destroy a believer to make that believer ineffective. Sometimes he only has to convince a watchman that his voice doesn't matter, a warrior that she is too damaged to fight, or a witness that no one wants to hear what he has to say. The question is: Whose voice has been telling you who you are? ___ This podcast is listener-supported.
