In this episode, Elizabeth talks with spoken word poet and author Hosanna Wong about identity, self-worth, and freedom from shame. Hosanna shares her journey of battling insecurity and learning to believe God’s truth over cultural lies. Together they explore how the church can address shame with compassion and how discipleship often happens through simple, everyday conversations that point us back to God’s grace.

Main Takeaways
  • God’s Word must become the loudest voice in our lives to shape our identity.
  • Churches need to handle shame and expectations with compassion and honesty.
  • Discipleship conversations require us to listen, be present, and extend grace like Jesus.
