Who Am I? Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is called “No Time to Keep Bleeding on People Who Didn’t Cut You.” Sometimes the person in front of you is paying for something somebody behind you did.

Midi-week motivational reset focuses on healing, emotional responsibility, self-awareness, relationships, trust, and learning how to stop ca...

Send us Fan Mail Everybody doesn’t need to be cut off. In today’s episode of The Who Am I? Podcast, Jeff Hopgood challenges one of the most common messages in modern self-help culture: “Protect your peace and cut them off.” But what if the relationship isn’t toxic—just uncomfortable? What if the problem doesn’t require a goodbye, but an honest conversation, a healthy boundary, forgiveness, accountability, or better communication? In this episode, we talk about the difference between protectin...

Send us Fan Mail Fear can be present without being in control. In this episode of Midweek Motivation, Jeff Hopgood challenges you to recognize where fear may be making decisions about your future and reminds you that courage does not mean being fearless—it means moving forward even while fear is present. Today’s episode is “No Time to Let Fear Drive.” Fear has a way of sounding reasonable. Wait until you’re ready. Wait until you know more. Wait until you cannot fail. Wait until everyone agree...

Send us Fan Mail Your past does not cancel your purpose. Your mistakes do not disqualify you, and your story is not over. God can still use you. In this powerful and encouraging sermon, “God Can Still Use You,” we look at the lives of Gideon, Peter, Moses, and others who remind us that God has always used imperfect people to accomplish extraordinary things.

We walk through what self-awareness really looks like in real time: the body tension when a certain person calls, the exhaustion after certain conversations, and the peace you lose every time you say yes while your ...

Send us Fan Mail Gaslighting does not always come through screaming, obvious lies, or explosive arguments. Sometimes it sounds like: “You’re too sensitive.” “I never said that.” “You’re overthinking it.” “It was just a joke.” “You always make everything into a problem.” And slowly, you begin questioning something you once trusted—yourself. In this powerful episode of the Who Am I? Podcast, Jeff Hopgood explores quiet gaslighting, subtle emotional manipulation, relationship red flags, and the ...

Send us Fan Mail How much of your life have you surrendered because you became tired of fighting for what you truly wanted? Quit Settling for Second Place is a powerful motivational speech for anyone who has been shrinking, settling, doubting themselves, or putting their dreams behind everyone else’s expectations.

Send us Fan Mail Who are you becoming? We spend so much time asking, “Who am I?” that sometimes we forget an equally important question: Who am I becoming? Every decision, habit, relationship, boundary, thought, and experience is shaping the person you are becoming. The question is whether you are intentionally becoming the person you were created to be—or simply allowing life, fear, pain, and other people’s expectations to shape you. In this powerful episode of The Who Am I? Podcast, Jeff Ho...

Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is called “No Time to Be Everybody’s Everything.” This motivational reset is for the person who is tired from always being needed, always being available, always fixing, always helping, and always saying yes even when their soul is begging for rest.

We think if we are not available to everyone, we are letting people down. But you...

Send us Fan Mail This powerful reset is for the person who has been playing small because of fear, rejection, insecurity, criticism, or the pressure to make other people comfortable. Sometimes we shrink our voice, our gifts, our confidence, our dreams, and our purpose because we are afraid of being judged, misunderstood, rejected, or seen. But shrinking is not humility. You were not created to hide what God placed inside of you. You were not created to silence your voice because somebody el...

Send us Fan Mail Who are you when the titles, expectations, accomplishments, mistakes, and opinions of other people are stripped away? In The Identity Audit, we take a deep look at the versions of ourselves we sometimes create just to survive, fit in, gain approval, avoid rejection, or protect ourselves from being hurt.
