This week, we’re talking about something most of us don’t slow down long enough to consider — identity. Not the surface-level kind. The deep, heart-level “who am I, really?” kind.

A moment at a men’s retreat opened my eyes to how quickly we define ourselves (and others) by what we do. Someone called me “the ultra guy,” and while that’s part of my story, it’s not who I am. That pushed me into some honest reflection.

In this episode, we get into:
• Why performance-based identity is such a trap • How easy it is for good things — like running — to become labels • The danger of rooting your identity in something you can lose • What Scripture says about who we belong to • How running reveals character without defining identity • Why your unshakable identity anchors you through injury, age, success, or failure • How running becomes worship when it’s a gift, not your name

If you’ve ever let a title, a role, or an achievement tell you who you are, this one’s for you.

At the end of the episode, I share a song I wrote that captures this whole message — stick around for it.

Thanks for listening, friends. Take a minute today to ask the hard question:
What am I letting define me?
