Episode Title: Understanding Our True Identity (John 1:19-34)

Welcome:

Today we embark on a deeply personal and spiritual journey to uncover our true identity. If you've ever struggled with the question, "Who am I?", you're not alone. This episode dives into John 1:19-34 to explore the life and testimony of John the Baptist, revealing truths about our identity in relation to Jesus Christ.

This episode is particularly close to my heart as it resonates with my own journey of finding identity beyond being 'My Fathers’s son.' Today, we’ll reflect on the life of John the Baptist, a man who knew exactly who he was by knowing who he was not and by understanding his relationship with Jesus Christ.
