Your REAL ID: Discovering the Truth of Your Identity in Christ (Ebook)

You can love God, know the Bible, and even serve at church, yet still be held captive by lies you don’t realize you believe.

Your REAL ID will show you who God says you are, and out of that identity, the purpose He created you for. You’ll learn to replace the lies you’ve believed about yourself with the truth of what God says about you. Jesus said, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).

Inside, you’ll find a Bible study built on the truth, chapter and verse, the same truth that empowered me to break free from shame, addiction, fear, anxiety, and toxic thinking. Often, the lies of the enemy sound a lot like your own thoughts. As you read, you’ll be empowered to take those thoughts captive and replace them with the truth of God’s Word.

For over twenty years as a believer, I lived in bondage to lies implanted in me as a child. Then, in May 2019, God healed the wound where many of those lies took root, and I learned that knowing the Bible isn’t enough: you have to believe that you ARE who HE says you are.

Throughout this journey, you’ll discover twenty-nine biblical truths about who you are in Christ and learn to see yourself the way God sees you. Truth you can build your life on.

Here’s just part of what’s ahead

• What to do when fear and anxiety consume your thinking, and everything around you feels uncertain.
• Why God’s love for you doesn’t change when you keep failing, and the difference between guilt and shame.
• How to stop living to prove yourself, even on the days you feel like you’ll never be good enough.
• What God says when you feel like nobody truly understands you or truly loves you.
• How to walk out the plans and purposes God created you for, and why they grow out of your relationship with Him.
• Whether God wants to heal you, and how His Word connects your identity in Christ to your healing.
• How faith works, and how to live by it every day, so you can receive everything God has for you.
• How to recognize God’s leading in an ordinary day, and what to do when the Holy Spirit prompts you.

I’ll also share my own story: the lies I believed, the encounter that changed everything, the twelve weeks I spent learning what “by His stripes we are healed” really means (Isaiah 53:5), and the faithfulness of God at every step. The book moves in three parts of seven chapters, with a built-in rest at each seventh chapter, because we don’t change our identity by striving. It’s provided by God’s grace and received by faith as we rest in the finished work of Christ.

Every chapter ends with reflection questions, a prayer, and a For Your Group block, with a Leader Guide included, so you can walk it out with your small group, book club, or church class. No experience needed. Whether you’re new to faith or you’ve been in church your whole life, this book was written for you.

You are wanted. Your life matters. With God, your future is better than you can possibly imagine.

It’s time to learn who you really are. Because you are who the Word says you are.
