Be Who You Are with Whitney McIntosh Ep 48

Constantly Under Construction with Donna Harris

Sure, “find your identity in Christ" is a cliche. But what does that actually mean? Whitney explains a lot of her perspective was changed when she read the book, The Truest Thing About You by David Lomas. We also discussed what it means to live "IN CHRIST”. I’ve listed all the scripture references that Whitney shared so that you, too, can meditate on God’s word when it comes to who you believe you are.

2 Corinthians 5:21 Ephesians 1 1 John 3:3

Whitney talks about a time when she was struggling to find security in her identity and how she felt desperate to be working in a place of purpose. Stripped away from her hometown, Whitney struggled to find a job that matched her desire of fulfilling God’s purpose. Listen to the story of how she eventually connected with a fantastic organization, Pure Hope, as a result of God’s perfect timing.
