Summary

Identity is everything these days. Ideas, politics, gender expressions, race, and sexual orientation, and countless other variables all have one thing in common in today's culture: they can be your identity if you want... and no one can tell you otherwise. The holy grail of our culture is being able to actualize your most ideal self at any cost and through whatever means necessary. But this ability has come at a staggering cost: truth itself has lost its meaning, and this trend has eroded our understanding of marriage and being married people, even among Christians.

This episode is the first in our 5-week series on Identity. Today we talked about the identity of marriage itself, and in the coming weeks we will discuss our identity as "us", biblical gender roles, and more. We hope it blesses you a lot and challenges you as much as necessary. Stay fierce!

ALSO: Our new marriage learning project ~~Gospel Centered Marriage~~ is open for enrollment!

It's a great way to build a solid marriage foundation get on the same page once and for all. It's built for all couples—newlyweds, nearly weds, and those who have been married for years. Visit GospelCenteredMarriage.com to learn more.

Thanks for listening! If you'd like to support this ministry, please visit Patreon.com/FierceMarriage. Our monthly patrons get plenty of perks, including early episode releases, free books & ebooks, silicone wedding rings, and exclusive ministry updates.

Everything seems to be wrapped up somehow in a person's identity.

0:07.8

We've deconstructed, we've redefined, we've torn things down, and now we've done it in such a way that people seem to think you can just build things up into whatever you want them to be.

0:17.4

And we're here to say that there are absolutes in this world.

0:22.6

And some of those absolutes have to do with marriage.

0:24.1

And so in this next five weeks, we're going to be unpacking the idea of identity, particularly

0:29.1

how it pertains to your marriage and our lives as Christian husbands and Christian wives.
