Show Me Your Receipts and I’ll Show You Your Real God

About this sermon

Are you really finding your identity in Christ, or just adding “Christian” as one more label in a busy life? 🧾✝️ In this conversation, we explore how men quietly shift their identity into careers, achievements, relationships, and even ministry titles—then wonder why they feel empty when those things change or get taken away. We talk about: • Why your receipts and calendar reveal your real “gods” 💳⏰ • What Jesus told Nicodemus about being truly “born from above” (not just religious) 🌙📖 • How sex, money, and power become subtle idols—even in the church 💔 • Why men fall apart at retirement and during trauma when their identity isn’t anchored in Christ 🚨 • How to live like the kite in God’s wind instead of trying to be the wind yourself 🪁💨 If you’ve ever felt lost when your role changes—cop, leader, husband, pastor, businessman—this will challenge how you see identity, devotion, and what it really means to be “in Christ.” 📚 Grab my book, The Truth in True Crime* Dive deeper into evidence, story, and the Christian worldview: https://amzn.to/3YWUbHK 🎥 Explore more from Maverick River Collective Subscribe to Maverick River Collective here: https://www.youtube.com/@MaverickRiverCollective 🌐 Visit Cold-Case Christianity online Articles, videos, and resources for making the case for Christianity: https://coldcasechristianity.com 👍 If this conversation helped you rethink identity and lordship, please LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss future content. 💬 Drop a comment: Where have you been tempted to root your identity—job, relationships, success, something else?
