152 || What Happens When You Let God Define Your Worth || Courtney Reimer

Send us a text

Courtney Reimer is on a mission to not only help girls and women know and understand their worth but also to know why they have worth. This interview is a reminder that where we place our hope matters. As Christians we’ve likely heard or been part of conversations about our identity in Christ but living that out feels so complex. How do we place our identity in Him? What does that look like? How do we know if we’re even getting it right?

One of the reasons I wanted to interview Courtney and learn more about She Wears Worth is because of how highly I value women getting to the bottom of this identity question. Whether we’re aware of it or not, our identity shapes how we live, the choices we make, and the dreams we say yes to.

In four years of interviewing women about their God-shaped dreams, I have found that when we fully entrust our dreams and our lives to God and when we begin to care more about what He says about us than what the world says about us, then we’re able to rest in the security that this identity in Him provides. That kind of rest and trust steadies us so that instead of being swayed by the whims of a human audience, we can live for an audience of one.

As Courtney talks about launching God’s dream for her, I hope you’ll pay attention to the following:

• That God takes our passions and aligns them with His work in the world.
• There are so many empty encouragements in the world that won’t last, but as an image bearer of God, your beautiful because He says so.
• How getting off social media and rooting herself in the truth of God’s Word helped Courtney fight comparison.
• God uses imperfect people to do his perfect work.
