Straight Talk With Salim: Recent Episodes
Salim Muslimani
As followers of Christ, we have been given a new identity. 1 Peter 2:9 tells us we are a chosen race. We are royal priests. We are part of a holy nation. We are possessed by God. We have been called out of darkness and into light and we are to be bold proclaimers of God’s glory. Sadly, a majority of Christians have no idea who they are in Christ. The Lord has given me a passion to open God’s Word and teach the Bride of Christ their identity so that they can step into who God has called them to be. Follow the journey and learn who you are in Christ.
