S8Ep5: 50 Days to Embracing (and Enjoying) Who God Says You Are
This week on the podcast, hosts Tricia Goyer and Mike Nawrocki talk with authors Eric Geiger and Erin Geiger about their new devotional, 50 Days to Embracing (and Enjoying) Who God Says You Are.
Pastor and bestselling author Eric Geiger, senior pastor of Mariners Church, joins forces with his teenage daughter Eden Geiger to offer teens a powerful, identity-shaping devotional: 50 Days to Embracing (and Enjoying) Who God Says You Are (Wander, January 2026). Designed for young readers navigating cultural pressure and self-definition, this seven-week devotional helps teens discover lasting confidence grounded in biblical truth.
In today’s culture, teens are constantly bombarded with messages suggesting identity is defined by appearance, interests, music, or social status. This conversation explores how faith provides a stronger foundation, helping young people move beyond comparison and confusion to embrace the identity God has uniquely given them.
Through daily reflections, Scripture insights, and perspective from both parent and teen voices, Eric and Eden guide readers toward understanding who they are through grace rather than performance. The devotional encourages teens to stop striving to fit cultural expectations and instead find freedom and purpose in God’s design for their lives.
Tune in as Tricia and Mike discuss:
- Helping teens develop a Christ-centered identity
- Parenting and discipleship insights from a pastor and father
- Cultural pressures facing today’s youth
- Practical ways families can engage devotionals together
- How faith brings clarity, confidence, and joy in self-understanding
If you are looking for Christian resources for teens, youth devotionals, or faith-based identity guidance, this episode offers practical encouragement and biblical perspective for both parents and young listeners.
