Affirmative: Recent Episodes
Toure Lynelle
This podcast offers real, honest conversation. Everyone is seeking and/or giving affirmations. Where you seek and what kind of affirmations you accept is important. "Affirmative" seeks to encourage you based on the never-changing, everlasting truth of God's Word. Offering hope for life from a Biblical/Christian worldview. Whether you are a Christian or not, I hope you can find something here that is worthwhile.
In this episode, I just scrape the surface of how to solidify your identity in something real and constant.
Who are you, What are you seeking to find your identity in, and isn't something worthwhile. This may just be part one because this is such a big topic, but I hope you find some encouragement and nuggets of gold in this episode.
