In this podcast episode, James and Maria Collins explore the concept of identity and its profound influence on personal fulfillment and purpose. They share their personal experiences—James's disconnection from his corporate job and Maria's identity shift after motherhood—to illustrate the challenges of defining oneself beyond societal roles and titles. The couple delves into biblical stories of name changes, like Abraham, Sarah, and Peter, to discuss the transformative power of embracing a new, God-given identity. They offer practical advice, such as the "Ideal You" exercise and daily "I Am" affirmations, to help listeners align their self-perception with God's perspective. The episode concludes with encouragement to see oneself as God does, aiming to inspire listeners to live out their divine purpose.

The “Ideal YOU”: Who are you CHOOSING to become?
- You are not limited by your past
- You are not any label people spoke over you.
- You are not a victim of circumstances
- You are not constrained by who you have been in the past
- You are who you consistently CHOOSE to be!
Take time to write down the characteristics of the person you choose to be, your "Ideal You."
- What does the “Ideal You” value?
- What does the “Ideal You” believe?
- What attitude does the “Ideal You” carry?
- How does the “Ideal You” behave?
- What habits and disciplines does the “Ideal You” demonstrate?
- What is the “Ideal You” known for? What kind of reputation do they have?
Personal Declarations
- Once you have a clear picture of your “Ideal You,” write down “I Am” statements that align with the Word of God and your “Ideal You” - statements that will remind you of who you are.
- Speak these “I Am” statements over yourself daily until they become your default way of defining your identity.
