About This Episode Are you a Christian? Do you love God and His Word? Then you are a vital and necessary part of the body of Christ. In this episode we want to encourage you in your identity in Christ, to remind you that you are not lesser no matter what part of the body you are, and, if you are struggling with doubt, to trust that God has given you His Spirit just like every other believer. We look at how old identities melt away in Christ, why comparison and self-disqualification are really pride, how God filled the whole temple in 2 Chronicles 7, and why the answer is simply to say yes to God with what He has given you.

About Aaron & Jennifer Smith Aaron and Jennifer Smith are the founders of Marriage After God and authors of Husband After God, Wife After God, and Marriage After God. Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.
