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 Brynn 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.
