Baptism and Your True Identity

Everyday Disciple Podcast

Show Notes

Most of us think of baptism as a one-time event — something that happened to us, not something we actually live from. But there's another baptism happening constantly, one almost none of us notice. The culture around us is forming our identity every single day — shaping what we believe about our worth, our value, and what we're for.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to talk with author and pastor Eric Peterson about the staggering power of Christian baptism — what it was really declaring over your life, and how living from that identity changes everything about how you show up every single day.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: - How culture is constantly "baptizing" us into a DO=BE identity – exhausting us - Why Christian baptism is a declaration about who you already are - How the Church has lost the full power and significance of what baptism is about - A simple daily practice to help you live from your trinitarian identity

As Christians, we most often use the word “belief” in connection to our faith and the Bible, but we also have beliefs that shape our lives connected to pretty much every action or inaction in life. Sometimes these beliefs can limit our potential.
