You’re Not Who You Think You Are: Exposing the Lies That Steal Your True Identity (Podcast)

About this sermon

You’re not who you think you are—and that’s incredibly good news if you’re in Christ. In this episode, J. Warner Wallace walks through the most popular topic he’s asked to address today: identity. Drawing from Scripture, real-life cases, and material from his book “The Truth in True Crime,” Jim exposes the cultural lies that shape how we see ourselves and contrasts them with the far better, more secure identity we have in Jesus. Whether you’ve grounded your sense of self in achievements, relationships, politics, sexuality, performance, or even ministry, this episode will challenge where you’ve been looking for meaning and invite you to find your true identity in Christ alone. You’ll hear about: • Why every worldview offers an “identity story” and why the Christian view uniquely fits the way the world really is. • How Scripture describes believers as a new creation, hidden with Christ in God, and no longer defined by their past. • Biblical examples (like Solomon) of people who misplaced their identity—and the consequences that followed. • Practical ways to recognize the “identity thieves” of money, sex, power, success, and approval in your own life.
