  • From Lie-dentity to Legacy: Reclaim Your God-Given Value
    Jan 9 2026

    In this episode the host tackles the battle between truth and "lie-dentity" — false labels and narratives that keep us stuck. She explains how voices from schools, society, and past failures can shape our sense of worth and lead to fear, procrastination, and anxiety.

    Rather than offering another productivity hack, she introduces a 2026 reset focused on seeing your true identity in God, reclaiming purpose, and replacing pressure with design. Listeners are invited to rewrite their internal story and live from God’s identity, not the world’s labels.

    CHALLENEGE:

    The challenge delivers daily scripture, reflection, and one simple step to help you reconnect with who you were created to be and move forward one small step at a time.
