Peter learned his identity by

first correctly recognizing

Jesus's identity:

 

"Now when Jesus came into the district of

Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, 

'Who do people say that the Son of Man is?' 

And they said, 'Some say John the Baptist,

others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or

one of the prophets.' He said to them, 

'But who do you say that I am?'

Simon Peter replied, 'You are the Christ,

the Son of the living God.'

And Jesus answered him, 

'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah!

For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you,

but my Father who is in heaven.

And I tell you, you are Peter,

and on this rock I will build my church,

and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.'"

(Matthew 16:13-18 ESV)

​

The purpose of Who I AM

is to facilitate the revelation

of identity within each individual

in the LGBTQ+ community,

as everyone personally

recognizes and experiences

Jesus Christ, God's Son.
