Hey, Sprauds, today I have a special treat for you.

We have a special guest taking over the podcast.

My good friend, Mr. Joe, is here to talk about holiness for boys.

But girls, don't worry.

Next week is for you.

We're talking about holiness for girls.

But I bet that a lot of the things that Mr. Joe is going to share with you

will apply to anyone and everyone. So listen up, and I hope that you learn something.

You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Now, this week's topic is holiness for boys.

But girls can listen in too because there might be a few things that they might find

valuable here and there.

And a lot of it's going to make sense to them anyway.

So, little gents, lads, today's topic is identity.

The word identity comes from a Latin word edem, which means same or the same.

So identity, a lot of people say identity is who you are or what you are.

Now, that's kind of true, but some people kind of get it confused sometimes.

When they use the word identity, they want to tell how you're different from other people.

But really, when we say, what is your identity?

How do you identify yourself?

We're not looking to describe how you are different from other people, but how you are the same to some other people or to something else.

Your identity helps you explain why you belong.
