In this special episode of Eat Don’t Compete, I’m joined by the one and only Patricia Gaskins for a natural and genuine conversation about our identities in Christ and the beautiful, sometimes messy journeys of becoming. How many of us can admit we’re still on that journey? 🙋🏾♀️
From laughter to tears, we open up about how God's love has transformed us — how we’re no longer who we once were. We have fun and dive deep as we answer three key questions:
- What are some contributing factors that help you identify who you are today?
- Concerning identity, what would you say to your 15-year-old self?
- Who are you [without mentioning the roles you play in life]?
I open this episode with one of my favorite quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
We also discuss God’s purpose for our lives, reflect on the promise of Jeremiah 29:11, and stand firmly on the truth of Ephesians 1:5-9.
This conversation is as natural and unfiltered as it gets — the kind that would have happened whether the camera was rolling or not. It’s faith-filled, heartfelt, and packed with the kind of spiritual encouragement your soul needs right now.
Topics We Dive Into:
- Identity in Christ
- Faith vs. Feelings (again 🤷🏾♀️)
- The foundation of who God created you to be
- God as the architect of your true identity
- Biblical truth for discovering your identity
- Honest reflections on who we were — and who we’re becoming in Christ
Stay until the end for a little "soul food" — you don’t want to miss it.
