Your New Identity

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.(ESV)

The enemy wants Christians to believe that every step of their walk of faith has a dreadful sense of urgency because they are running away from the enemy. It’s called a walk of faith not a run of faith. It’s a race of endurance, not to see who can go the farthest in the least amount of time. If we believe this lie then we are left rushing every decision and impatiently waiting on God to reveal the next step. That takes the focus away from the actual goal of having a relationship with our creator. The only truly urgent part of the walk of faith is that first step. Once a person believes and accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior then they will face every situation with a statement then by answering a question. I am a Christian. What would someone who truly follows Christ do in this situation?

Make that statement to establish your identity then answer that question to be relatively sure that you will never go wrong.

Who am I?

I’ve walked a path I didn’t ask for, guided by a God I can’t ignore. I don’t wear titles well—writer, teacher, leader—they fit like borrowed armor. But I know this: I’ve bled truth onto a page, challenged what I was told to swallow, and led only because I refused to follow where I couldn’t see Christ.

I don’t see greatness in the mirror. I see someone ordinary, shaped by pain and made resilient through it. I’m not above anyone. I’m not below anyone. I’m just trying to live what I believe and document the war inside so others know they aren’t alone.

If you’re looking for polished answers, you won’t find them here.
But if you’re looking for honesty, tension, paradox, and a relentless pursuit of truth,
you’re in the right place.

If you’re unsure of what path to follow or disillusioned with the world today and are willing to walk with me along this path I follow, you’ll never be alone. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate as much as they feel comfortable with.

Now, welcome home. I’m Don.
