Episode 3 – "This Is Who You Really Are"

Welcome to Kingdom Mindshift—where transformation takes place by the renewing of your mind. I’m Pastor Claudio, and in today’s episode, we wrestle with one of life’s most foundational questions: Who am I?

But the more powerful question is: Whose am I?
Because identity is rooted in origin. You are not defined by your past, your pain, or people’s opinions.
You are defined by your Creator.

We’ve all been labeled—by trauma, failure, and even well-meaning voices.
But here’s the truth:
Believing a lie will affect your life as if it were true.
Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

Before we talk about you, we must start with who God is.
📖 Isaiah 48:13 – “My hand founded the earth; My right hand spread out the heavens…”
📖 Psalm 8:3 – “When I consider the work of Your fingers—the moon and stars You’ve set in place…”
This is the same God who formed you with intention in your mother’s womb (Psalm 139).

You are not a mistake.

In this episode, I share a personal story—when someone spoke death over my calling. It pierced me deeply. But I had to return to the One who originally called me. Because only God has the authority to define your identity.

Jesus once asked His disciples, “Who do you say I am?” (Matthew 16:15). That question still echoes.
And God asked me in prayer:
“Who do I say YOU are?”

And I heard the Holy Spirit declare:

This truth began a mindshift in me. And it can start one in you too.

When you gave your life to Jesus, a divine exchange took place:
2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; the new has come.”

You either believe it—or you don’t.

And when you know who you are in Christ, you begin to reject what you’re not.
You are not broken.
You are not forgotten.
You are not disqualified.
You are what Heaven declares:

Made in His image
His beloved child (John 1:12)
Fearfully and wonderfully made
More than a conqueror
A royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9)

1 John 3:1-2 – “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are.”

1 John 4:4 – “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.”

It’s time to shed false labels and receive your true identity in Christ.

Call to Action:
Today, reject every lie.
Tear down every false label.
Receive the truth of who God says you are.
Let the Word of God, not the world, define your value.

Welcome back to Kingdom Mindshift. I’m Pastor Claudio, and I believe God is calling you to think higher, live bolder, and walk daily in the freedom He purchased for you. This isn’t just another podcast—it’s a Kingdom wake-up call.

In this inaugural episode, we strip away every title, achievement, and role—minister, entrepreneur, parent, athlete—so we can ask the most important question: Who are you, apart from what you do? If you can’t answer that, you’re in the perfect place. You’ve been believing lies about yourself that feel real—lies whispered by the world, by well-meaning loved ones, and by the father of lies himself. But today, we expose those deceptions and exchange them for life-transforming truths straight from God’s Word.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode

The Kingdom Mindshift Perspective

A clear invitation to filter every aspect of life through Scripture. I’m not shy about speaking God’s Word and declaring its power over your mind, your emotions, and your future.

Identity Exposé: Who You Are Not

We confront the counterfeits—performance, popularity, possessions, past failures, and familial expectations. When you strip those away, some of you will realize you’ve been defining yourselves by lies.

Six Common Lies You May Believe

“I am worthless.”

“I am unloved or unlovable.”

“I will never change; I am just broken.”

“I have no purpose.”

“I am a victim of my past.”

“I have to earn God’s approval.”

Scripture-Saturated Truths to Replace Every Lie

Psalm 139:14 – You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Romans 5:8 & Jeremiah 31:3 – You are deeply loved, unconditionally.

2 Corinthians 5:17 & Ezekiel 36:26 – You are a new creation, transformed by grace.

Jeremiah 29:11 & Ephesians 2:10 – You were created for good works, ordained by God.

Colossians 1:13-14 & Romans 8:1 – You are redeemed, forgiven, and free from condemnation.

Ephesians 2:8-9 & Romans 5:1 – You are saved by grace, not by works, and you stand justified.

The Nature of Deception

When you believe a lie, it feels as convincing as gravity—even if you deny it, it still holds you down. Deception only loses its grip when you replace it with scripture-anchored truth.

A Kingdom-Shifting Prayer

We close by calling on the Holy Spirit to reveal any false self-images, to uproot every lie, and to plant biblical truth deep in your heart. Together, we’ll declare freedom in Jesus’ name and celebrate the new identity He’s given us.

Why This Matters

Your identity in Christ determines everything: your confidence, your purpose, your relationships, and the impact you’ll make in the world. If you’re operating under a false identity, you’ll never experience the fullness of life Jesus promised. But when truth takes root, your mindset shifts—and you begin to think higher, live bolder, and walk in the freedom that’s already yours.

Thank you for launching this journey with me. In our next episode, we’ll explore Practical Steps to Cultivate a Kingdom Mindset—how to renew your mind daily through prayer, scripture meditation, and intentional community. Until then, remember: you are chosen, you are loved, you are new—and your identity is sealed forever in Christ.

Welcome to the Kingdom Mindshift Podcast—a sacred space created for believers who are ready to think higher, live bolder, and walk in the fullness of their God-given identity. In this very intro episode, I’m inviting you to take a bold step—not just into a podcast, but into a mindset shift that realigns your thoughts with the truth of God’s Word.

I’m Pastor Claudio, and I’ve dedicated most of my life to seeing people healed, whole, and activated in their purpose.

Alongside my beautiful wife, Paula, of over 27 years of marriage. We have 3 sons, CJ, Cylen, and Cayden.

Whether you’re a seasoned believer or someone who’s been stuck in cycles of doubt, defeat, and insecurity, this podcast is for you. We are done with watered-down faith. We are done with powerless Christianity. This is your Kingdom wake-up call.

So what is a Kingdom Mindshift? It’s not just positive thinking. It’s not about hype or empty motivation. It’s about embracing a new mentality grounded in spiritual truth. Romans 12:2 calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. That’s not a suggestion—it’s a mandate. The battle is often won or lost in the mind. If the enemy can trap you in a defeated mindset, he can delay your destiny. But if you can shift your thinking, you can change your life.

In this introductory episode, you’ll hear the vision behind this podcast and why I believe God is calling believers back to a bold, biblical, Spirit-led walk. In this community, you will go from rejection and religion to freedom and purpose. And most importantly, you’ll hear the heart of a Kingdom message that says: You were made for more.

What to expect in future episodes:

• Biblical truth that convicts and liberates
• Practical teaching to grow your spiritual maturity
• Kingdom principles to break strongholds and shift mindsets
• Encouragement for your walk with God, your marriage, and your family
• Exposure of false teaching and cultural deception
• Insight on how to thrive in faith and finances
• Real talk about identity, purpose, healing, deliverance, and Kingdom authority

Every episode is crafted to stir your spirit and challenge your thinking. We’re not here for entertainment—we’re here for transformation. Expect episodes that are raw, real, and rooted in Scripture. I won’t just tell you what sounds good—I’ll tell you what God says.

God is raising up a remnant. People who aren’t afraid to walk in truth, speak with authority, and love without compromise. You are part of that remnant. You are not disqualified by your past. You are not too late. You are not too broken. You were born for such a time as this.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to your faith than what you’ve been living—you’re right. There is. But it starts with renewing your mind and embracing your Kingdom identity. That’s what we’re doing here, together.

Subscribe now, share this with someone who needs it, and get ready to walk in truth, boldness, and freedom. The Kingdom Mindshift isn’t a suggestion—it’s your next spiritual step.
