As He is, so are you. Not as you hope to be someday. As He is, right now, so are you, right now, in this world.This isn't one isolated verse making a bold claim. This is a theme woven throughout the entire New Testament. You died with Him. You were raised with Him. You are seated with Him. Your life is hidden with Christ in God. Christ is in you. You are in Christ. You have been given His divine nature. You have the mind of Christ.This is not a metaphor. This is the reality of union. And your job is to believe it and walk in it.📲 Instagram: @lindsay.vanzyl🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/x_X9wrF8xpk

By grace. Through faith. Not by works.Most of us understood this when we first came to Christ. We knew we couldn't earn our way to God. We received His grace and it changed everything.But somewhere along the way, many of us picked the performance back up. We started trying to earn our peace. Earn our joy. Earn our identity. We accepted grace to get in the door and then switched to works to stay in the room.In this episode, we're exploring what Paul asked the Galatians, why the way you started is the way you continue, and how to actually believe new. Because belief is not a feeling you wait for. It's an agreement you make.📲 Instagram: @lindsay.vanzyl🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CHQgEypOHcE

Throughout Scripture, God is consistent in assuring us of His never leaving, never forsaking presence. And He's also consistent in His provision of community to reinforce us in that truth. It's hard to find a person in Scripture who walked their entire journey of faith without others spurring them on.The foundation we've been building in this season is this: knowing who God is and knowing who we are in Him is what grows courage in us. Because the kind of courage that endures doesn't come from your own willpower. It's not a personality trait you either have or don't. It comes from choosing to trust the Truth, trusting the One who said, "I will be with you wherever you go."And in His abundant provision, He also gives us the gift of each other.📲 Instagram: @lindsay.vanzyl🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/F2rjf0gcrMw💛 A mentorship community for Christian women: upliftcommunity.co

This is true about you: you are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Not someday. Right now.Ephesians 2:6 says God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms. Past tense. Already accomplished. Not something you're working toward.In this episode, we're exploring what it means to live from a position you already occupy instead of striving toward one, and why being in this position doesn't mean absence of struggle. It's the place you face hard things from.An absence of trouble is not proof of victory. His permanent presence in us in every circumstance is.📲 Instagram: @lindsay.vanzyl🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/RYurbwkiS_M

What do you do when the people you trusted to point you to God become the reason you’re questioning Him?I’ve walked through my own version of that question. And what I found changed everything.In this episode, I’m sharing a season when ministry culture became my access point to God, what happens when you put a gift in the place of the Giver, and what Hebrews 12 says about the shaking that reveals what cannot be shaken.I also want to speak directly to those who’ve been wounded, not just disappointed. Your healing matters. And there’s so much hope for you.The structure may have crumbled. But what it revealed is something that cannot be shaken. Him. In you.📲 Instagram: @lindsay.vanzyl🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/S9nd5z8Kvgk
