Episode 128: Living Out an Identity in Christ with Cindy Morrison

Cindy Morrison is in the studio with us today! Cindy kicked off the episode by reminding us that saying yes to God opens us up to the beautiful things He has in store. Despite being saved at 12 and growing up in a Christian environment, Cindy struggled with a consistent relationship with God and felt frustrated by the overbearing legalism around her. Some of you may have experienced similar circumstances. After high school, she distanced herself from church, but 12 years later, a visit from her sister-in-law led her back to faith. Building a relationship with Jesus can take time, and He is so patient with us! As Cindy said, it’s been a lifelong journey to get to where she is now as a person and with her faith. 

She discussed her long, tumultuous relationship and how she eventually realized that, as her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, she deserved to be treated with respect and honor. This led her to divorce and move on from her difficult situation and marriage, all while holding onto the good things God had done through it. She emphasized the importance of having community through her healing process—mentors, counselors, friends, and those in various life seasons helped her grow closer to God. God can teach us and encourage us through all different types of people! Now living in Arizona and part of our church community, Cindy’s story highlights the value of letting God define our identity, not the culture or people around us. Tune in to hear her powerful message of perseverance, faith, and the transformative power of community!
