Episode Summary
Identity has become one of the defining conversations of our culture. Many people search for meaning, purpose, and belonging by looking within themselves or to the values of the surrounding culture. Scripture presents a radically different foundation. True identity begins with God because He created humanity in His image and reveals who we are through His Word.In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains why separating identity from God inevitably leads to confusion, distorted truth, and misplaced purpose. Looking at Genesis 1:27 and Romans 1:25, he shows that genuine clarity about our identity is found only through the Creator and ultimately through reconciliation with Christ.Listen or Watch
