   LEX&CO || HOW TO FIND YOUR IDENTITY IN JESUS WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU LOST IT

   Who Am I Anymore? Finding Your Identity in Jesus When You Feel Lost In this raw and honest episode of Among the Branches, we dive deep into the truth about identity and what happens when you hit rock bottom, feel completely lost, and don’t even recognize yourself anymore. If you’ve ever struggled with insecurity, confusion about who you are, or felt like isolation has stripped you of your identity, this conversation is for you. We’re talking about the hard seasons—the quiet ones, the lonely ones, the ones where it feels like God is silent—but also how those very moments can be where He rebuilds you from the inside out. Lex shares her powerful testimony of walking through a season of brokenness, losing her sense of self, and how Jesus met her right there in the middle of it. Together, we unpack the truth about finding your identity in Christ, what it really means to be rooted in Him, and how to rebuild when everything feels like it’s fallen apart. This episode will encourage you if you’re: Feeling lost or disconnected from who you are Walking through a season of isolation or waiting Struggling with insecurity or comparison Trying to understand your identity in Christ You are not too far gone. Your identity was never meant to be found in the world—it was always found in Him. Come sit with us as we talk about healing, truth, and becoming who God created you to be.

   HEYY BESTIESSS WERE BACK WITH ANOTHER EPISODE… In this powerful episode of Among the Branches, we discuss what it truly means to walk out of shame, addiction, and the bondage of our past and step into the freedom that God offers.

In this conversation we explore: • How shame keeps people stuck in bondage • The spiritual battle behind addiction and past struggles • How God restores broken stories • Walking in freedom and identity through Christ • Why your testimony can help set others free If you've ever felt trapped by your past, this episode will remind you that freedom is possible through God.

   LEX & CO // Are Your New Year Goals God-Led or Just Hustle Culture?

   New year… but are we following the same God? As Christians, we’re often encouraged to dream bigger, do more, and set goals—but how do we know if our goals are actually God-given or just driven by culture, pressure, and productivity? In this episode, we unpack: • The difference between God-led goals and self-driven ambition • Whether Christians should set New Year’s resolutions at all • How productivity can quietly replace intimacy with God • Why some cycles feel harder to break—even when we pray • How to truly surrender a new year to the Lord We talk ambition, obedience, spiritual discipline, repentance, and preparation—while asking the hard question: Are we doing life with God… or just doing things for God? This episode is for anyone entering a new year craving alignment, not just achievement. 📖 Scriptures referenced: Proverbs 16:3, James 4:13–15, Psalm 37:23
