Most of us let our achievements answer a question we never say out loud: Am I worth something? But that question already has an answer — and it was settled before you accomplished anything at all.
In this episode of Habits of the Heart, Dr. Gabriela Grasso makes the case that identity comes before achievement, not the other way around. You were made in God's image (Genesis 1:26-27). You were called by name and precious in His eyes even in the wreckage (Isaiah 43). You are already His child — not a servant working your way toward belonging (John 1:12).
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why an outcome is not the same as an identity — and what actually changes the moment you stop confusing the two
What it means that you are God's workmanship — His poem, His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10)
A simple, repeatable practice for the moment disappointment starts to feel like a verdict: getting T.R.U.E. (Take notice, Rest, Understand and return, Enact one faithful action)
This week: choose one truth about your God-given identity, and notice where you're tempted to let achievement decide your worth instead. You don't have to earn what's already yours.
