Who Jesus is?

Jesus is the revelation/embodiment of God on earth.

Jesus shows us how we are created to live and how we should view ourselves.

Matthew 2:1,2

They were expectant.

They responded.

They took action.

They persevered.

They never backed down.

Young woman 14-16 years old.

"My soul glorifies the Lord!"

Great example of deep faith before the new covenant.

Our personality is not our identity. It's certainly a big part of who we are, but it doesn't tell the whole story. In this episode Matt and Chad explore the concept of identity - what it is, what it isn't, and where it comes from. 

Takeaways from the episode:

1. Recognizing what drives us 
2. The perception of safety 
3. Confession, repentance, and accepting forgiveness 
4. Know your why: what is your purpose, drive in life, what is your calling? 



Key Milestones: 

[00:01:37] - Identity vs Personality

[00:04:55] - The conformity of the school system in our culture

[00:08:02] - Where does our identity come from?

[00:10:30] - What is Safety?

[00:16:19] - Straying from the path and correcting your course

[00:19:02] - What is the purpose of life?

[00:22:52] - Do you know your why?

[00:26:27] - Jesus’ humanity, the demonstration of a perfect human life

[00:31:04] - Repentance, What we think vs what it actually is.

[00:34:28] - Common themes of characters in the Bible, they were broken

[00:39:08] - The Story of Nebuchadnezzar  

Key Quotes: 

• “What does it mean to shed this persona or personality and develop and let your own identity bloom.” [00:03:49] 
• “Our identity, that like god’s eternal fingerprint on our soul.” Renegade Atlas podcast Hosts: Matt Doud and Chad Hawk
