We throw the word “personality” around a lot, but have you ever stopped to ask—how much of what I call my personality is actually how God created me, and how much of it is stuff I picked up along the way… defense mechanisms, habits, or even sin that needs refining?
In this episode, I break it down into three parts:
The part of me that really is how God designed me.
The part that isn’t truly me, but I’ve leaned into for survival or culture.
And the part that is me, but needs to be polished and sanctified.
We’ll dive into what it means to be made in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), how sin distorts but doesn’t erase that image, and how the Spirit works on things like humor, confidence, and directness so they actually bear fruit.
This isn’t about “self-help” or just saying “that’s how I am.” It’s about letting God’s Word (John 17:17, Galatians 5:22–23) test every part of us—including our personality.
God affirms who we are, but He also transforms how we are.
