When They Liked The Old You Better: How to Hold Your New Self When the People Around You Are Pulling for the Old One

You can know what you want your life to look like and still feel unsure how to begin. In this episode, Kelli explores four things that can support you as you practice an updated identity: a clear vision, a sense of safety, repetition, and evidence. Drawing on Habakkuk 2:2, Kelli shares how to make your vision plain even when you do not know every step ahead. She also explains what it can mean for your body to feel safe while you try something new, and offers practical ways to meet uncertainty with steadiness and support. Then, learn how to choose a small daily habit that expresses the identity you are practicing, connect it to a time and cue, and reframe the moment when you do not feel like beginning. Each action gives you experience to learn from and evidence you can recognize. In this episode, you’ll learn:

Be, Do, Have: Are You Wanting It, or Are You Becoming Her? "I want to own my own business" and "I am an entrepreneur" describe the same dream, but they feel completely different in your body, and your brain treats them differently too. In this episode of The Resurrection Room, Kelli Shaw breaks down the Be, Do, Have principle and shows why so many accomplished women have been building their lives in the reverse order, waiting to have the money, the time, or the clients before they give themselves permission to become the woman who has them. Kelli walks through what your brain does every time you say "I want," why your self-concept works as a prediction your behavior follows, and what research on identity-based motivation reveals about why some women keep going after a rejection while others decide the dream was never for them. Then she takes you into Judges 6, where God calls Gideon a mighty warrior while he is hiding in a winepress, and shows how God has always spoken identity first. In this episode:

Setting a goal can feel exciting, but excitement alone cannot carry you through the days when progress feels slow, doubt begins speaking, or an old pattern tempts you to stop. In this continuation of Only 30 Days to an Entirely New Reality, Kelli explains how to turn a meaningful goal into a process you can follow. You will learn why achieving a goal requires both an execution plan and an identity plan and how these two plans work together to help you continue after the initial excitement fades. Your execution plan identifies what you want to accomplish, the strategy you will use, the repeated actions that support it, and when those actions will happen. Your identity plan prepares you to recognize the beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that may surface as you begin asking more of yourself. In this episode, you will learn:

What would you practice today if you truly knew you could grow into the person you’ve been praying to become? You may have a goal that keeps coming back to your heart, even as familiar doubts influence how you approach it. In this episode, we explore how your beliefs about yourself shape your decisions and how intentional daily actions can help you begin building a different understanding of who you are. I’m sharing four practices to bring into the next thirty days: choosing one meaningful goal, protecting your attention, responding thoughtfully to doubt, and expressing gratitude through action. Together, we’ll connect faith, identity, and the everyday choices that give your growth a place in your life. In this episode, we explore:

Before anyone told you who you were, something was already true about you. So where does identity begin? In this episode of The Resurrection Room with Kelli Shaw, Kelli goes beneath the labels, roles, accomplishments, failures, and survival patterns we often mistake for identity. We explore the difference between original identity and acquired identity, including how experiences become interpretations, interpretations become beliefs, and repeated beliefs become part of the way we see ourselves. You’ll hear how this process connects to Kelli’s identity framework: Identity shapes your perception.Your perception dictates your behavior.Your behavior drives your actions.Your actions produce your outcomes. The problem begins when the identity driving this cycle was formed through rejection, fear, comparison, financial struggle, criticism, abandonment, or the need to earn love and approval. A belief such as “my voice causes problems,” “I’m bad with money,” “I never finish anything,” or “I have to hold everything together” starts as a conclusion. After enough repetition, it begins to feel like personality. But what if the identity you’ve practiced isn’t the identity you were created to carry? In this episode, we explore:
