About this episode

On this earth, a crown is what separates victors from the rest of the competitors, but the goal of creating a life worth living is not to gain a trophy, get a prize, or keep the crown. However, when all we’re focused on is the prize and not the process, we find ourselves in a dangerous position quickly attaching our identities to our accomplishments. However, our lives are not meant to be about being number one or making our own names known. Therefore, while walking you through the journey of her evolving confidence—from basing her identity on temporary labels and her own efforts, to discovering the rock-solid security of anchoring her dreams in her Maker—today’s guest, Demi Leigh Tebow joins Zach & Dr. Tim Clinton to weave her story together with the insights she's learned along the way. Today’s conversation will show you how to relate to the discomfort, confusion, and doubt that arises when you base your confidence on external things; discover God-confidence when your plans take unexpected detours, know what do when planted in unknown territory, use your story to grow an eternal impact, and stay grounded in the truth of who you are in Christ. The purpose of our lives is to love and serve God and others. Demi shows how you can be encouraged to focus not just on your aspirations, but on your greater purpose and leave behind a footprint of significance, not just success.
