Knowing Who You Are (and Who You’re Not): Freedom From Expectations | John 1:19–28 [Season 4 Ep 3]

Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever felt exhausted trying to be the version of yourself everyone else expects you to be?

In today’s devotional Bible study, we slow down in John 1:19–28 and reflect on the freedom that comes from knowing who you are—and who you are not—in Christ. Through the testimony of John the Baptist, we’re reminded that our identity is not rooted in titles, labels, or expectations, but in what God’s Word says about us.

This episode includes: ✨ A powerful Biblical affirmation 📖 Scripture study in John 1 🫶🏽 A midweek heart, head, and soul check-in 📓 A reflective journal prompt 🙏 Prayer and encouragement for your day

If you’ve been carrying pressure, comparison, or expectations God never placed on you, this episode is for you.
