How This Connects to Your Life

Hannah discovers her identity is not in what she can do physically but in who God says she is. When the external identity is stripped away, both Hannah and her coach face the same question: if I am not defined by what I do, who am I?

Most men don't have a calling. They have a job. They have organized their entire identity around the thing that pays and wonder why it doesn't feel like enough.

You are not what you do. You are not your failure and you are not your success. You are God's handiwork.

Ephesians 2:10

“For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Calling is usually the quiet intersection of what you are good at, what breaks your heart, and what God keeps placing in front of you.
Three Questions.
No wrong answers. Just honest ones.
1
If someone asked you who you are, would God's answer be the first thing out of your mouth?
2
What does your daily life say you believe about who God says you are?
3
What would change about how you live if you actually believed you were God's handiwork, created with intention?
The History Behind the Film

Overcomer is the film at the center of this study. The scene is chosen because it captures something true about the specific challenge this study addresses. The filmmakers may not have intended a theological reading, but the truth they captured is there regardless of intention.

The History Behind the Scripture

Ephesians 2:10 sits inside a larger argument Paul or one of the other biblical authors is making about how the renewed life looks in practice. The verse is not a standalone principle. It is part of a sustained argument about what it looks like when a man actually believes what he says he believes on Sunday morning.

How It All Connects

The connection between this film and this Scripture is the same one that runs through every study in this series: what a man sees in the mirror when he watches that clip is exactly the gap this Scripture addresses. The film names the problem. The Scripture names the source and the solution.
