Desiring a Better Country

Have you ever felt a quiet restlessness—even in good seasons? A sense that something more awaits? Scripture tells us that the faithful “desired a better country—a heavenly one” (Hebrews 11:16). That longing was not a failure of gratitude; it was evidence of faith. In this week’s episode of Our Identity in Christ, we explore how longing can be a holy signal—pointing us toward our true home. God is not threatened by your desire for more. In fact, He honors it. The Word says He is not ashamed to be called their God, because He has prepared a city for them. You are not wrong for wanting what this world cannot give. That desire may be God’s invitation to lift your eyes and remember where you belong.

Belonging to God’s Household

Many of us carry a quiet fear of not belonging—of being on the outside looking in. Yet Scripture speaks a gentler and truer word over our lives. “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens… but members of the household of God” (Ephesians 2:19). In Christ, you are not merely welcomed—you are included. God does not keep you at arm’s length. He brings you close, calls you His own, and gives you a place at His table. In this week’s episode of Our Identity in Christ, we explore what it means to live as citizens of heaven who also belong to God’s family. This truth has the power to heal old wounds of rejection and silence the lies of unworthiness. Take a moment today to rest in this reality: you are not an outsider. You are at home with God.

Citizens of Another Kingdom

Hidden With Christ

Have you ever felt pressure to prove who you are—through success, approval, or constant striving? Scripture offers a freeing truth: “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3) Your truest life is not exposed to the chaos of this world. It is hidden, secure, and held within Christ Himself. This means your identity is no longer fragile or up for debate—it is anchored in Him. In Episode 29 of Our Identity in Christ, we reflect on what it truly means to be united with Jesus. Not visiting Him occasionally. Not striving to reach Him. But living from Him. As you listen, allow the Spirit to remind you: you are not alone, not striving, not forgotten. You are deeply joined to Christ, and your life is safe in God’s hands. Take a moment today to breathe, reflect, and rest in this truth.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2523814/fan_mail/new] Join our FaceBook Group  [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1119067676263542 ]

One Spirit With Him

What if your Christian life isn’t about trying harder to get close to God, but learning to live from the reality that you’re already united with Him?  In this episode of Our Identity in Christ, “One Spirit With Him,” Pastor Charles  unpacks the powerful truth of 1 Corinthians 6:17—“Anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him”—and shows how union with Christ reshapes your identity, your choices, and your daily walk. Through biblical insight, practical reflection questions, and a guided weekly challenge, you’ll explore what it means to live from Christ within you rather than striving for Him from a distance.  You’ll be invited to confront shame, fear, and performance-based religion and step into a life grounded in spiritual oneness, transformation, and grace. If you’ve ever felt like God is far away and you’re always falling short, this episode will help you rest in the freeing truth that you are already one spirit with Him—and learn how to align every area of your life with that reality.
