Finding Our Identity

Where do we find our identity?

At Galena High School, 41 students and ten adults gathered for an FCA Huddle with Isaac Griffin, a Galena graduate and Youth Director at Living Stones South Reno. Isaac reflected on how football and his experience with an autoimmune disease shaped the way he once understood himself.

He turned to Ephesians 1:4–5 to remind students that their deepest identity is not earned through performance. In Christ, believers are loved, chosen, and adopted into God’s family because of what Jesus has done. The group also considered 1 Peter 2 and how belonging to God shapes everyday life.

For students surrounded by expectations and comparisons, the challenge was clear: Are we defining ourselves by what we do, or by who we are in Christ?
