Standing Firm: In Our Identity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247263180)

You're in a battle for your identity.

Every day, forces conspire to tell you who you should be. Your job title, your bank account, your performance, your past failures, and what culture demands of masculine men. You're told to be tougher. Be more sensitive. Provide more. Achieve more. Be more.

But what does God say?

Before you took your first breath, before you made your first mistake, before you achieved your first success, God chose you. Not because you'd be perfect, but because He wanted you on His team.

In Stand Firm, Pastor Jamie Greenwood, who is a minister, spiritual director in training, a graduate from Tyndale University with a Master's in Theological Studies, and a volunteer firefighter, takes men on a journey through the Book of Ephesians to discover their true identity in Christ and learn to stand firm in that identity.

In this book, you'll discover:

• The seven spiritual blessings that form your unshakeable foundation
• The five identity thieves stealing your sense of worth (and how to fight back)
• Why you're God's partner in the kingdom, not His employee
• How to put on the full armour of God like a firefighter gears up for battle
• The "No One Left Behind" creed for building brotherhood with other men

This isn't another book telling you to try harder or be better. This is about discovering who you already are in Christ and living from that identity rather than striving for it.

The battle is real. The enemy is strategic. But you don't fight alone.

This book includes:

• Discussion questions for men's groups
• 30-day "Stand Firm" devotional
• Practical guide for building a band of brothers
• Identity declarations to speak over yourself daily

"One of the biggest identity thieves in the world is that we spend years, even decades, training to be someone we desperately want to be, and we've ignored who we were meant to be."

Stand firm, brother. You know who you are.
