Who Are You When No One Is Applauding? (Podcast)

Sep 14, 2026    Rick Mitchell, Heath Watts

What if the question we most need to answer is not 'how are you?' but 'who are you?' That single shift in question has the power to unravel years of performance-driven living and open the door to something far more grounding. In this conversation, we explore what it truly means to live from a God-given identity rather than one we have constructed through our accomplishments, roles, or the approval of others. The truth is that identity is not something we have to manufacture. According to Ephesians 2, we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works. That means the gifts, the instincts, the deep-seated ways we naturally engage with the world are not accidents. They are intentional. When we begin to recognize what God has already placed inside of us, everything changes. Our work, our relationships, our calling all start to flow from a place of rest rather than striving. This overview invites us to stop copying what we see in others and start discovering the original design God had in mind when He created each of us.
