From Battle Scars to Bible Study: Embracing Your God-Given Identity

Episode Summary: What does it look like to go from military grit to ministry grace? In this powerful episode of the Branded by God podcast, Brittnee N. Smith welcomes Theresa Alexis—a Marine veteran, life coach, and founder of Baddies & Bibles. Theresa shares her raw, faith-filled story of transformation: from combat boots to kingdom purpose.

Together, they dive into identity shifts, healing from trauma, and the beauty of surrendering your success and struggle to God. Whether you're rebuilding after burnout, seeking clarity in your calling, or learning how to lead without losing yourself, this episode will stir something in your spirit.

Get ready to be reminded that your history isn’t your hindrance—it’s your hall pass into purpose.

💡 Listener To-Do: Take 10 minutes today to journal on this prompt: “What identity or role have I clung to that God might be asking me to release so I can walk fully in who He called me to be?” Then pray and ask God to reveal what He wants you to embrace instead.
