Truth Identity & Self Esteem | Allen & Stacy Jo

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2502187/fan_mail/new] What you believe about yourself shapes everything — your relationships, your decisions, your faith, and your freedom. In this between-season special, Allen and Stacy Jo Thorne dive deep into what they call truth identity: seeing yourself as God sees you through Jesus Christ — and actually believing it. Pulled from their ministry, Reviving Recovery Unbound, this episode is a direct, grace-filled conversation about the lies that quietly shape our identity — and the truth that sets us free. From people-pleasing and perfectionism to control and comparison, Allen and Stacy Jo name the "shiny lies" the world offers in place of the stable identity that can only be found in Christ. You'll walk away with:   •  Clarity on why knowing scripture isn't the same as receiving God's truth in your heart   •  Understanding of how the Holy Spirit works at the root of our struggles, not just the behavior   •  A 5-step practical framework for identifying and releasing lie-based beliefs   •  Biblical declarations to speak over yourself and renew your mind This is not about shallow self-help or positive thinking. This is about the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, grounded in God's Word, in your everyday life. "You were created on purpose, for God's purpose. Walk in truth, walk in freedom, walk in and with Christ." Key scriptures: Genesis 1:27, Romans 8:1, 2 Timothy 1:7, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Matthew 28:18 Connect with the show: www.faithfullyinvested.com  Reviving Recovery: Unbound is now online!
