Amy Heilman – Identity

Because of the power of identity I wanted to start the new year with the conversation that will give you a strong understanding of where to find your true identity.

My guest Amy Heilman is the perfect person to talk about this topic as her ministry is all about finding out who we are in Christ. You can discover more about her and her ministry, Breathe Deep Ministries on her website.

Identity is everything! How you see yourself will determine what you accomplish and obtain in life. Be it a job/raise/promotion, relationship/love/friendship, health/body image etc. you will pre-qualify yourself for what you think you are worthy of.

Amy has had the uncomfortable experience of being stripped of all her faux layers that she hid behind. She’s also had the experience of a beautiful restoration, not to who she use to be but rather to who she was intended to be.

She took her pain, confusion and struggle to the One she knew she could trust. The One who knows her intimately, her Creator helped her face the tough questions, the pain of breaking off lies, and protected her in her raw vulnerability.

Trusting the Triune God with her pain, emotions and questions she pressed into Him for a more solid way of doing life. Choosing to process her humanness through the heart of God gave her His presence, wisdom and new level of freedom with which to do life confidently.

Listen in to hear the valuable revelation she gained and how it equips her for living with freedom, peace and authenticity.

Also, she has a free book for you on her website. In it she shares her experience of how she discovered her lack of identity and how God moved her into a wholeness to live life in freedom. You can find her book, Soul Stripper here: https://www.breathedeepministries.org/book
