Episode 1 | Who We Are Not

• Bookie + Kesha Gates • Season 1 • Episode 1

In a world obsessed with defining who we are, how often do we stop to ask who we are NOT? In this episode of Humble Renegades, we flip the script and challenge the labels, assumptions, and expectations that have been placed on us.

We dive into:
🔥 Breaking Free from Misconceptions – Why people often assume things about us that aren’t true
🔥 Shedding Society’s Labels – How we reclaim our own identity and refuse to be boxed in
🔥 The Power of Saying No – Why embracing who we are not helps us step boldly into our true purpose
🔥 The Role of Faith & Obedience – How trusting God’s plan leads to real success (not just worldly definitions of it)
🔥 Pain, Passion & Purpose – How past struggles shape our calling and drive us forward

This episode will challenge you to think differently about yourself and empower you to step into your God-given identity—without apology.

📢 Are you living out your true calling, or are you stuck in expectations that aren’t yours? Let’s talk about it.
