30 | Peeling away the Layers of My Identity

Have you ever wondered who you really are beneath all the labels, expectations, and roles you’ve carried? In today’s episode, I share an unexpected lesson God showed me while power washing and scraping paint off an old storage shed. As layers of old paint peeled away, revealing the original wood underneath, I couldn’t help but think about identity—and how often our true selves get covered over by stories we’ve believed, words spoken over us, wounds we’ve carried, and expectations we’ve tried to meet. Sometimes healing begins in the cracks. Sometimes the places that feel broken are the very places where God begins revealing what He created from the beginning. In this episode we talk about: * How identity gets covered by layers over time * Why “cracks” can become places of healing * Letting God remove false labels and old beliefs * What Scripture says about who we are in Him * Returning to the original identity God created in us Scriptures Mentioned * Psalm 139:13 * Jeremiah 31:3 * John 15:16 * Romans 8:16–17 * Ephesians 2:10 * Matthew 28:20 Join Me: Being Known If this conversation stirred something in you, I’d love to invite you to join me for Being Known, my 8-week virtual identity workshop. Register at https://www.illuminatethepath.com/workshop [https://www.illuminatethepath.com/workshop] Together we’ll explore: * who God says you are * the false identities you may be carrying * how to replace lies with truth * what it means to live fully known by God You are known. You are loved. And God is gently uncovering the real you.

29 | Uncover your Kingdom Identity with Tasha Glover

Today's episode is part two of Terry's interview with Tasha Glover. Tasha is a grace‑empowered mentor and Kingdom strategist who serves multi‑gifted believers who feel too big for one box. She helps them discover their God‑given identity, understand their mandate, clarify their messages, and step into grace‑led visibility. She is the creator of the Brand with Grace Identity Pathway and author of the Brand with Grace book and journal. We focus on how to uncover your kingdom identity.  Tasha mentions that this is not a "once and done", we change as we continuously walk with the Lord.  Our identity shifts, but our mandate remains constant.   Here's a quote from Tasha's new book "Brand with Grace" about kingdom identity.... Your kingdom identity is not something you invent; it is something God reveals and sustains by His grace. It is the way He has woven you into the fabric of His Kingdom—a unique thread designed to carry His presence, His authority, and His assignment in the earth. To understand kingdom identity is to understand who God is, who you are in Him, what He has sent you to do, and how His grace empowers you to do it  You will find Tasha's Identity Pathway at www.brandwithgrace.com [http://www.brandwithgrace.com] and her Visibility Pathway at www.TashaGlover.com [http://www.TashaGlover.com] Her new book "Brand with Grace" is available wherever books are sold.  Get your copy of the book and the journal today!!

27 | Hearing and Obeying God's Voice

In today's episode Terry unpacks two stories of absolute obedience from Acts 9 and 10.   We see Ananias who literally made a decision to go visit Saul knowing that he might lose his life.  Sacrifice is sometimes asked of us as we obey!  And, God's direction may frighten us.  It's okay to ask for clarification, but once you have it, act!  Do what God has asked you to do.   Direction from God often comes unexpectedly.  It may cause us to change direction.  Saul was asked to change his plans and also his life purpose.  Peter changed his thoughts and turned away from what he had been taught....all because God instructed him.   When God speaks it can be an answer to prayer, as we see with Cornelius the centurion.  So, keep praying!  Cornelius saw unbelievable outcomes as a result of his prayers.   What is God saying to you today?  Are you listening?  That's the first part.  Once you hear the next step is to obey.  Take action and watch what God does with your obedience!
