Sarah Line 7

Petty reframes his approach by not defending himself with accomplishments against accusations. He finds his identity in something unchangeable, not needing to prove himself further. It's realizing he was already chosen, not about increasing his worth. This reframing is radical. Instead of trying to disprove Theos' accusations by listing accomplishments or defending himself, Petty locates his identity in something that can't be taken away or diminished by external circumstances. It's not about becoming more impressive. It's about recognizing he was already chosen.
