  Your past can inform you, but it can't name you.
• 0:03
  This is a line I want you to remember.
• 0:05
  Let's say it again. Your past can inform you, but it
• 0:08
  can't rename you. It can teach you.
• 0:10
  It can shape your perspective. It can remind you what matters.
• 0:14
  But it does not have the authority to define who you are.
• 0:18
  That authority belongs to God and God alone.
• 0:21
  So here's your action step this week.

  The next time your past tries to introduce you, I want you to
• 0:26
  pause. Don't rush past it.
• 0:28
  Don't automatically agree with it.
• 0:30
  Just pause and ask this. Is this my past speaking or is
• 0:34
  this who God says I am? And then sit with that.
• 0:37
  Don't rush the answer, because that moment, that pause, that
• 0:41
  awareness is where everything starts to shift.
