Article: Who You Are - a podcast by Christopher Stephens

(From 1/28/13)

I recently heard a song on a new radio station I began to listen to. I had grown tired of listening to the nonsense that I was hearing on another National morning radio show so I searched for a Christian station. I came across a station called K-Love. And although I don't agree with everything the DJ's say it's refreshing to hear no negativity in the shows and news that they air. And the lyrics to the songs they play keep my mind on Christ throughout the day. Back to the song I heard, it was title Who You Are by Unspoken. You can click the link to check out the video.

This song took me back to when I was 19 years old living in Phoenix AZ. I was in college, away from home for the first time and living a life that was not pleasing to God. I was so disoriented and caught up in sin it was as if I was addicted to the things that I was doing. I thought me going just being in a Church building would help but I was never totally committed. I was wanting God to make me whole while only giving him half my heart. It was a constant battle within me fighting against the desires of my flesh. I hated myself and I was convinced that God hated me as well. Here I was living a life of sin and I had been baptized since I was in the 5th grade! I felt like a disgrace to God and after a horrible series of events including an car accident that almost took my life I was convinced God didn't care about me any more. But then a family decided to pull me back to God. Their names were the Burton's and I thank God so much for them. They made sure that I came to Church and was involved in the Church of Christ in Phoenix AZ. That was when I realized that God had never given up on me, I had only given up on myself. Read the verse below and check out the link to the songs video below with the lyrics.


[17] Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. [18] All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. [20] Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

(2 Corinthians 5:17-20 ESV)

Who You Are By Unspoken

You can never fall too hard,
So fast, so far That you can't get backWhen you're lost
Where you are is never too late, So bad, so much That you can't change Who you are, ooo-oooh You can change who you are, ooo-oooh


IF YOU FEEL AS THOUGH THAT YOU'RE TOO BAD FOR GOD AND THAT YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR GOD IT'S NOTHING BUT THE DEVILS LIE! DON'T MISS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN! BECOME A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST BEING BAPTIZED FOR THE REMISSION OF YOUR SINS. IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN ALREADY IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO REDEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST. REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND TURN AWAY FROM THE THINGS YOU'RE DOING THAT'S CAUSING YOU TO FALL. GOD LOVES YOU AND WHILE YOU'RE STILL BREATHING IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, SO BAD, THAT YOU CAN'T CHANGE WHO YOU ARE.
