Summary

What would happen if we could walk into any room bringing our identity, rather than getting our identity from it?

Following up our episode on giving kids joy permission comes an episode on how to experience joy as a byproduct of walking daily with Jesus in our true identity. When we’re not walking in our true identity, we’ll get it from one of three places:

what we have
what we do
or how we think other people see us.

In this episode, Steve Petermeyer, a coach with Identity Exchange, joins us to talk about how we can know our true identity, identify when we’re believing a lie about who we are, and how to invite Jesus into telling us the truth.

Steve also walks through questions we can ask in our faith communities to get us beyond small talk, go below the surface, and live out our unique identity. For example, what are you doing that God never asked you to do? Are there any lies that you’re believing? What is one fear you currently have?

If, as Steve says, “More is caught than taught,” when it comes to raising our children, imagine the implications of living out of our true identity as fathers and mothers.

In this episode, Steve discusses:

Why all external conflict is the result of internal conflict
The two worldviews that influence our identity and how we relate to the world around us
The two ways we act when we’re walking in our false self
Four ways to walk with God more intimately, discover your identity, and live in your true self
What it looks like to “remember” our identity as we walk with and pray to Him each day
How to recognize an emotion, confess it to God, and ask Him what the truth about that emotion really is
How we can disciple our children on how to hear from God

0:00.0	So when you are not walking in who you are, then we self-promote and self-protect.
0:07.0	So, and you can see people do it, you can feel it from them when they're self-promoting.
0:12.0	You can be in a room of young men in particular, meeting together, and you just, you can just feel it.
0:17.0	Everybody's self-promoting everywhere.
0:19.0	Either that or we self-protect. We're trying to take
0:22.7	care of ourselves. And so without knowing who we are, that's what we step into. You are listening to
0:28.8	the Famous At Home podcast with Dr. Josh and Christy Straub. Because when it's all said and done,
0:35.4	we all want to know that we were famous at home.
0:43.8	Welcome back to the Famous at Home podcast. Today I have a dear friend and mentor on the podcast with me, Steve Peter Meyer.
0:52.4	He is someone I met through a mastermind that I'm a part of.
0:56.9	Many of you have heard me talk about that. And Steve showed up back in August. And he came in as a
1:03.9	spiritual director, kind of a spiritual guide, if you will, for the men in the group. And I felt like
1:09.8	Jesus was saying, Josh, you need to,
1:12.0	you need to talk to Steve. You need to, you know, follow up with him because he had spoken there.
1:17.8	He had led us through some prayer. And I felt like Jesus was saying, you need to follow up with him.
1:22.2	Well, every time that I would go to try to follow up, I realized I didn't have his number. I knew I could get it, but it was one of those things where you just kind of like, well, that'll be some work. And so I didn't end up following
1:32.1	up with him until February rolls around and of this past year. And we're at this mastermind group again.
1:40.3	This time we're in Austin, Texas. And I'm talking to a buddy of mine, and he says,
1:44.8	yeah, he says, I've been praying with Steve, and man, it's just been pretty life-changing.
1:49.0	And I'm like, okay, Steve, the guy that I was supposed to have connected with back in August,
1:55.8	six months ago. And so anyway, he said, yeah, he's going to be here. And so I was like, okay, Lord, I know what you're doing.
2:02.2	And so since that time, what was really cool is Steve taught me,
