Do You Know What an Identity Is?

Imagine you wake up one morning to a notification that your identity has been stolen. Hours later, you scroll through social media and pass a post about identity politics. At lunch, you have a deep and intimate conversation with a friend about his ongoing identity crisis. And at dinner, you attempt to facilitate a discussion with your kids about their identity in Christ. In each case, identity means something different. At times, the difference is a matter of nuance. At others, the linguistic referent belongs to another category entirely.
