Who gets to define your identity?
In Episode 9 of our “From Bystander to Builder” series, Pastor Evan Ryder explores the powerful moment in Book of Genesis 32 when God changes Jacob’s name to Israel. After a lifetime of striving, grasping, and building a kingdom around himself, Jacob encounters a God who not only wrestles with him—but renames him.
This episode explores:
- How identity shapes the way we live
- The difference between self-made identity and God-given identity
- Why many people build their lives around achievement, approval, or fear
- How God transforms people through grace
- What it means to live from belovedness instead of performance
In a culture obsessed with image, success, and self-construction, this conversation offers a hopeful reminder: you are more than your failures, accomplishments, or reputation.
Because the world says, “You are what you achieve.”
But God says, “You are who I name.”
