You look up and realize the current has carried you farther than you meant to go—emotionally, in your marriage, in your habits, work, time, money, even your sense of self. That wake-up does not need a hype fix; it needs a homecoming. We walk the honest road from naming drift to returning to the Rock, making space for conviction without shame and choosing relationship before responsibility.

We start with clarity on what re-anchoring is and isn’t. It’s not a reset button or a performance plan. It’s a Spirit-led process of turning from drift and letting Jesus become the center again. Together we explore how repentance is a change of mind and direction, not a cycle of self-punishment. We talk about the difference between conviction that invites you home and condemnation that freezes you in place. From there, we confront the subtle reordering of loves that puts good things in God’s place—work, image, comfort, control—and ask for a heart that wants him above everything else.

Then we get practical. You’ll hear how small, repeatable rhythms can anchor your attention in a world that tugs you off course: morning Scripture and honest prayer before your phone, a two-minute midday reset, an evening examen, weekly Sabbath-like rest, and real community that knows your story. We build a simple rule of life across four spheres—God, people, work, and self—so you can move from default to design with sustainable steps. Expect clear reflection questions, grounded examples, and a hopeful reminder that grace comes before grind. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review telling us the one rhythm you’ll start this week.

Scripture Reference: The Prodigal Son; Luke 15:11-32

What if the loudest thing shaping your life isn’t your schedule or your goals, but the name tag on your heart? We go after identity drift—the slow slide from living as God names you to living as pain, people, and performance define you—and map a way back to solid ground.

We start with a clear definition of identity drift and a vivid name tag metaphor that makes invisible labels visible. Then we trace how early voices and formative moments harden into scripts you carry for years, even after salvation. You’ll hear five signs you’re drifting—leading with roles, living in comparison, imagining God only tolerates you, letting your past dictate your future, and swinging between pride and self-hate—and why each sign quietly sabotages joy, relationships, calling, and resilience.

From there, we expose five common paths into false identity: wounds that named you, sins that became essence statements, religious performance that ties worth to report cards, cultural markers elevated above being in Christ, and role lock where “I am what I do for others” replaces “beloved.” We show how identity functions like an engine under everything—mind, body, time, gifts, and money all orbit your deepest answer to “Who am I?”—and why switching engines changes your whole trajectory.

You’ll get a practical, compassionate framework to move from default to design: write your honest I am statements, name their sources, ask whether Jesus agrees, replace them with scriptural truth, and pray through one tag at a time until your reflex shifts. Expect clear prompts, reflection questions, and Scripture anchors to carry into your week so you can trade “not enough” and “too much” for beloved, forgiven, adopted, new, and righteous in Him.


🧠 Identity Drift – Design Check-In Questions

Who has had the loudest voice in shaping my identity lately?

What “name tags” have I been quietly wearing that don’t come from God?

What past wound, mistake, or season still feels like “who I am” instead of “what I went through”?

IDENTITY DRIFT – “WORDS TO LIVE BY” CHEAT SHEET

1. I Am a New Creation

Declaration:

In Christ, I am a new creation. My old identity does not define me anymore.

Key Scripture:

• 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
• (Support) Ephesians 4:22–24 – Put off the old self… put on the new self.

2. I Am Chosen and Beloved

Declaration: I am chosen by God and deeply loved, not overlooked or accidental.

Key Scripture:

• Ephesians 1:4 – He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.
• 1 Peter 2:9 – You are a chosen race… a people for His own possession.
• 1 John 3:1 – “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.”

The moment your bank app tightens your chest is the moment your money story speaks. We explore how finances quietly drift from intentional tools in God’s hands to reactive habits driven by fear, status, and survival—and why a faithful, simple design can pull you back.

We start by redefining money as a tool, a test, and a trust, not a scoreboard. Then we map five clear signs of drift: avoiding the real numbers, spending from emotion, chasing “enough” that always moves, giving that feels either impossible or mechanical, and tying identity to debt or status. Along the way, we open the hood on deeper scripts—family patterns, scarcity, status pressure, control, and shame—that disciple our decisions long before any budget app does.

From there, we move into practice. You’ll learn how to run a “financial testimony audit” on the last 60–90 days to see what your numbers say about trust and values. We share a hard-won budgeting lesson from a first job at Walmart, and why raises don’t heal drift without a renewed mindset. Then we offer a simple 10 percent re-aim—toward giving, debt beyond the minimum, or savings for margin—paired with a short payday prayer to align your plans with God’s purpose. No guilt trips, no hype, just design over default and faithfulness over flash.

If treasure leads the heart, where are you headed? Join us to re-aim one slice of your finances, invite God into the hard numbers, and trade quiet shame for clear steps. If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review to tell us what you’re re-aiming this month.

Words To Live By

Matthew 6:21

1 Corinthians 4:2

Reflections Questions

1.What story did I grow up believing about money?

2.When I’m stressed, sad, or feeling “less than,” how do I use money?

3.If someone read my bank statement like a journal,

what would they say I treasure most?

4.Where do I feel the greatest shame about money?

What might it look like to bring that shame into the light with God

instead of hiding it?

5.How have I seen God provide in my life before—

and why do I still live like I’m completely alone in this area?

6.If I truly believed that everything I have is God’s,

7.Who could I invite into my money story

so I’m not carrying it in secret?
