How do we make sure our identity as entrepreneurs and business-minded men doesn't come from what we do and how well we do it? How do we process the collision of the business and spiritual worlds? How do we navigate faith in a culture of wars and voices telling us who we are? How do we process success and failure? Where do we find true hope? Our identity is not in the creative work of our hands but in the hands of the Creator and His work on our behalf.

Listen this week as K.C. and I discuss identity and being a dad. K.C. shares how identity is more complicated then we may realize or admit. Identity often makes up our background, gifting, environment into a jigsaw puzzle of identity. Our identity in Christ is at the root of who we are, but who we are and what we are called to do is an intricate part of our identity; especially as dads. The post Ep#14: K.C.

Discipling kids is so much more than just discipline, play or teaching. It also involves listening, learning, discovering and helping form their identity in God and not in their performance, achievements, desire to please others or attempts at perfection. If you work with kids, have kids or hope to have kids this interview with John Murchison is a must!

My good friend John Bohannon and I have an exciting exchange about a legalistic identity: an identity defined and shaped by our obsession to our performance for Jesus rather than Jesus' performance for us. Legalism flips God's plan of grace on its head and reverses God's design backwards, putting the focus on us and how well we do instead of focusing on Jesus work on our behalf. Grace sets us free to celebrate and enjoy the freedom we have in letting go of ourselves and grabbing hold of Jesus.

Listen this week as John and I discuss identity and theological training. What is the purpose and function of theological training and knowledge? I based this interview with John and topic on his video entitled "Identity Formation". In that video, John "shares his burden for theological training with the goal of identity formation rather than information transfer." We talk about the implications of identity formation and how they relate to discipleship, the church, the mission, identity crisis, modern American Christianity today and the importance of friends who hold us accountable to our beliefs.

Listen this week as my good friend Rob Wilkerson & I discuss finding your identity in the unconditional love and grace of God rather than our performance.

I know you'll be empowered, equipped and encouraged for the mission! The post Ep#010: Rob Wilkerson, Grace Identity appeared first on Missional Man Podcast.

How does church planting affect and shape your identity? I interview my good buddy Mark Tanner on his experience with two church plants and the beautiful mess it involves. A real, honest chat about the good, bad and ugly of church planting. How it affects your identity, ministry, security, marriage, parenting and the mission.

In this episode, I interview Dhati Lewis. I love Dhati's heart and vision for the church and the mission; especially his passion for living the Gospel out in an urban context. Dhati moved from Dention, TX to Atlanta with his family and 40 other people to plant Blueprint Church of Atlanta. He believes deeply that the local church is the visible expression of the Gospel in our culture. Dhati and I plumb the depths of identity crisis of men and the church, diversity and unity, urbanization and gentrification, neighborhood missiology, differences and similarities between rural and urban mission and biblical hospitality. I know you'll be greatly empowered, equipped and encouraged by Dhati's unique story and inspiring passion for the church, the mission and the city.

In this episode, I interview Barnabas Piper. Barnabas and I have a lot in common which helps aid the engagement of our discussion: both husbands of 10 years, dads of two girls, Millenials and now podcasters. Barnabas brings a transparent, honest look at his own identity discovery story and shares his personal, unique experience growing up as a pastor's kid. We discuss how that shaped and informed his identity and how he discovered that his true identity actually comes from Jesus and not his parents' faith. We also discuss the ins and outs of his book, "The Pastor's Kid: Finding Your Own Faith and Identity". I know you'll be empowered, equipped and encouraged by his refreshing story and heart.

Mark and I have been good friends for almost a decade. Through that time, he and I have experienced tough seasons in our marriage, parenting, finances, jobs, sin struggles and in our own personal identity discovery. I know you'll enjoy our conversation as you sit in like a fly-on-the-wall and hear Mark's unique story of faith and fight. This conversation was very enlightening and real. We discuss personal struggles, manhood, culture, fathering and how it all relates to finding your identity in Jesus and not in what you do, have or what others think. Enjoy and be encouraged and challenged! The post Ep#005: True and False Identity, Mark Waters appeared first on Missional Man Podcast.

Caesar Kalinowski and I talk about how keeping our eyes focused on the mission God has called us to helps us find our identity in what truly shapes and defines us: God Himself! We explore the tendencies of every Christian to be shaped by things we do instead of what God has done, by programs instead of the person of Jesus. We are the church, not we go to church. It's an emphasis on being instead of doing. The being then informs what and why we do what we do. Listen in and be empowered, equipped and encouraged to find your identity in the missionary God so you can live more intentionally on mission. This conversation was very encouraging and enlightening. There's a lot of one-liners to pull out from Caesar. He has a wonderful story, refreshing perspective and an exciting call to return to who we are in Christ. Enjoy!

My good friend and pastor, Chris Fowler and I plumb the depths of what we treasure and how that affects and shapes our identity. As Jesus said, "where your treasure is there you'll heart shall be also." Listen in as Chris shares his personal story about his upbringing and life. Chris and I connect the dots between what men treasure and worship and how it shapes who we truly are. "We become what we worship."
