You have the authority to align your identity with the name of Christ—to break generational patterns, silence the lies, and walk in divine purpose.🔥 Your name matters.🔥 Who you believe you are matters even more.So take a deep breath, listen closely, and if something speaks to you, share it—on your page, with your circle, even with someone who might not like you. Healing is for everyone.Let’s keep the conversation going.👉 Tag me on Instagram @CoachChefi and tell me what stood out from today’s episode.I’ll see you next week. Until then—walk in your true name.
