Foundations Week 8 – Live Out Your True Identity
Aug 2, 2026 • Jon Muench
What the world says disqualifies you is the exact thing that qualifies you to be used by God
By every worldly standard, Timothy had an excuse. He was too young, too inexperienced, too overshadowed by Paul. But Paul's message to him is the same message God has for you: stop letting your disqualifiers keep you from your calling. In this message, Jon Muench walks through 1 Timothy 4:11–16 and three things that happen when we begin to live out our true identity in Christ. We will turn our excuses into examples. We will stop neglecting our gifts. And we will begin to pursue progress over perfection. A masterpiece doesn't start as a masterpiece — it just starts in the Master's hands.
