Gospel music for · Identity
Identity is not treated here as self-invention. These songs locate the believer’s name in Christ: the former life laid down, the mind renewed, and the verdict of accusation overruled by the blood of Jesus.
Listen when failure, performance, or another person’s verdict is trying to become your final name.
