Journal Entry: Living From the Worthiness of Jesus

Journal Entry: Living From the Worthiness of Jesus

Welcome to our first ever Journal Entries episode—a new series on The Consecrated Podcast where we invite you into the more personal, raw, and in-process parts of our walk with God. These episodes are straight from our journals and personal time with the Lord. They are less about polished teachings and more about sharing what God is revealing to us in real time. Our hope is that this becomes an invitation to grow together—to wrestle, reflect, and encounter Jesus alongside us. In this first Journal Entries episode, we talk about what it means to live from the reality of Jesus’ worthiness. Fedhii shares a personal encounter from his journal where he saw a bustling community of people living with one common intention: to do all things unto Jesus. It was a picture of people whose lives were anchored in the revelation that Jesus is worthy—not just of our worship songs or ministry moments, but of everything. We talk about how when you truly live from the conviction that Jesus is worthy of it all, everything becomes worship. Washing dishes, going to work, serving people, building, creating—ordinary moments begin to carry eternal significance. Life becomes filled with meaning, purpose, and vibrancy when everything is done unto Him. Whether your work looks like ministry or something completely outside of it, your life has profound purpose when it is lived for Jesus. He is worthy of every part of our lives.

The Way of Trust

In this episode, we talk about the way of trust through the story of Peter walking on water. Peter was able to do the impossible as long as his eyes were fixed on Jesus—but the moment he shifted his focus to the wind and waves around him, he began to sink. How often is that true for us? So easily, we become consumed with our emotions, our circumstances, our fears, and our plans for the future. We spiral inward, focusing on ourselves and everything happening around us, while slowly taking our eyes off the One who is holding us. The Christian walk becomes exhausting when we spend most of our time looking at ourselves instead of looking at Jesus. We were never meant to carry the weight of life in our own strength—we were made to lean on Him. This episode is a reminder to fix your eyes back on the Lord and trust Him, even when life doesn’t look the way you expected. The invitation remains the same: keep your eyes on Him.

Who Defines You? Part 2

In this episode, we continue the conversation around the question: Who defines you? We explore the reality that identity was never meant to be self-created or determined by the opinions of others. Just as God intentionally designed every fingerprint to be unique, He was even more intentional in forming our inward being. Our personalities, desires, gifts, and distinct characteristics are not accidents—they were crafted by a Creator who knows us completely. We discuss the picture of the pot and the potter, and how a pot cannot define its own purpose apart from the one who made it. In the same way, we were created to discover who we are through the One who formed us. When we allow God to define us, we find clarity, purpose, and security that cannot be found through self-identification or external validation. We also unpack a common misconception about following Jesus: that surrendering to Him means losing our individuality. The opposite is true. Jesus does not erase our personalities—He redeems and fills them. In His creative nature, He forms each person with unique expressions, gifts, and characteristics that reflect His glory. The closer we become to Him, the more we discover who we were actually created to be.

Who Defines You? Part 1

In this episode, Fedhii shares a powerful encounter with the Lord that exposed a subtle but significant struggle in his heart: allowing things other than God to define who he is. Whether through accomplishments, failures, gifts, relationships, or the opinions of others, it's easy to build our identity on labels that were never meant to carry that weight. Together, we explore the question: Who has the right to define us? If we are created beings, can we truly establish our own identity apart from the One who created us? And why do we so often give other people more authority over our identity than God Himself? Through personal reflection and biblical truth, this conversation unpacks how every label apart from Jesus ultimately leaves us unsettled because it was never designed to be our foundation. At the heart of this episode is a simple but transformative reality: Jesus is the only One who paid the full price for our lives, and therefore He alone has the rightful authority to define who we are. To belong fully to Jesus is to surrender not only our lives to Him, but also our right to label ourselves.

Choose It Until You Believe It

In this episode, we explore how easily our circumstances can shape our perception of who God is in a given season. Biiftuu shares a recent encounter with a friend that brought conviction in real time. Despite walking through financial uncertainty and tight circumstances, they continued to live generously because their lives were built on the belief that God would provide—and they chose to live accordingly. But what happens when our emotions, circumstances, and personal narratives seem to contradict what God says about Himself? Through personal stories and honest reflection, we discuss the struggle of believing God is Provider when our own lives seem to tell a different story. While we focus specifically on provision, we also acknowledge the many other false beliefs we can carry about God's character. Together, we unpack the journey of choice—how faith often begins not with feeling, but with deciding to believe what Scripture says is true. We talk about the slow process of repeatedly choosing trust, even when belief feels distant, and how over time those choices begin to shape our hearts. Eventually, what starts as a conscious decision becomes a deeply rooted conviction, where God's truth carries more weight than our emotions or circumstances. Until belief takes root, we continue making decisions in the direction of Jesus, trusting that our inner world will eventually reflect what we have chosen to believe.
