    EP 85: Buckle Up for a Holy Shift: Walking in God's Authority and Power with Pastor Char Pittman

    My special guest today Pastor Char Pittman encouraged me and I pray you as well to get me fired up as she talks about identity which so many struggle with and she shares about the essential truths understanding our true identity in Christ, and walking in the victory that Jesus has already won for us. Pastor Char shares how the Holy Spirit empowers us to live with authority, how revival begins within us, and how that spark can lead to a broader cultural awakening. But most importantly, we’ll be reminded that the enemy wants to keep us from knowing who we truly are in Christ—and it’s time to break free from those lies. I pray this episode encourages you, challenges you, and commission you to rise up in your faith and become the light the world needs.
