Listen "Finding Identity Through Faith: Doubt, Grace, and Who You Are in Christ with Alex Horton"

Episode Synopsis








On Inner Peace Better Health, host Sana sits down with Alex Horton to unpack how identity is revealed through faith—not performed for approval. From a youth camp spark to deeper study in theology and divinity, Alex shares how Scripture (Genesis, Ephesians, Romans 5:8), honest prayer, and letting go of people-pleasing reshaped his life. We cover the tension between knowledge and faith, why doubt isn’t failure, and practical ways to realign daily with who you are in Christ. Clear, direct, and grounded—this conversation gives listeners a simple path to start again, today.
About the guest:
Alex Horton is a pastor and Christian content creator behind The Heart of What We Believe. His work focuses on helping people meet God in everyday life through sermons, devotionals, and reflections. He’s the author of From Wandering to Walking, his personal testimony of redemption.
Key takeaways:


Identity is received, not achieved: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8) reframes worth apart from performance.


Start with three anchors: honest self-reflection (gifts), prayer (ask God to reveal), and Scripture (Genesis for who we are; Ephesians for who we are in Christ).


People-pleasing is a trap: Alex stopped “chameleon” behavior when he rooted identity in who God says he is, not in others’ approval.


Knowledge can refine faith: learn freely, but expect a point where facts can’t replace trust—they often point to a Creator.


It’s okay to doubt: even Jesus cried, “Why have you forsaken me?” Doubt voiced in prayer can deepen faith.


You are unworthy yet fully loved: nothing earns grace; God chooses to give it. That truth breaks shame.


Daily realignment is simple: read one verse on waking, thank God, ask for guidance, pray for others—then act.


Faith is a returning practice: miss a day? Return the next. Consistency over perfection.
