Reflection on Overcomer (2019): Rediscovering Identity in Christ

Watching *Overcomer* by the Kendrick Brothers was both inspiring and thought-
provoking.
The film takes us on a journey of identity, grace, and transformation, centered around the
question: “Who are you?”
This question echoes through the struggles of the main characters and challenges us, as
viewers, to examine where we find our self-worth and what truly defines us.

John Harrison, a basketball coach stripped of his team and confidence, is forced into an
unfamiliar role coaching cross-country.
At the same time, Hannah Scott, a young girl battling asthma and the pain of abandonment,
wrestles with insecurity and brokenness.
Both characters confront the emptiness of finding identity in success, roles, or other
people’s opinions.
Their turning point comes not through achievement or affirmation, but through
encountering the truth of Scripture.
When Hannah reads Ephesians 1, she discovers that her identity is not rooted in her past,
her performance, or her pain, but in being chosen, redeemed, and loved by God.

This moment serves as a spiritual mirror for all of us.


Too often, we allow failure, fear, or others’ voices to shape our self-image.
*Overcomer* reminds us that our true identity is found in Christ — an identity that cannot
be shaken by circumstances.
This theme resonated deeply with me because it caused me to reflect on where I place my
value: whether in accomplishments, relationships, or in the unchanging love of God.

The film also highlights the power of forgiveness and perseverance.


Hannah’s reconciliation with her father shows how grace can heal deep wounds, even when
the past feels beyond repair.
Her determination to run cross-country despite her asthma symbolizes endurance in the
face of challenges, reminding us that faith gives us the strength to keep going.
These lessons reminded me that forgiveness is never easy but always freeing, and
perseverance is vital in life’s difficult seasons.

Ultimately, *Overcomer* is more than just a story — it is a call to live with eternal
perspective.
As believers, we are called to live as overcomers, not because of our own strength, but
because Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33).
The movie encourages us to anchor our identity in God’s Word, to walk in humility, and to
extend love even when it costs us.
It left me with hope and motivation to live confidently as a child of God, defined not by what
I do or what I face, but by who I am in Christ.
