Blessed Is She Ep 2: Where Does Your Identity Come From featuring Dr. Stacy Morse

In Episode 2 of Blessed is She, host Reagan Hodge is joined by Dr. Stacy Morse to talk about where our identity comes from. Too many people base who they are on what they do, how they look, the sports they play, or even the people they are around, but your life changes when you start finding your identity in Christ.

Reagan talks with Dr. Morse about ways to look to God when the enemy tries to tell you that you are something other than what God has already said you are.
