Our Faith Journey

07: The Inner Life Part 5 - Self Awareness with Melissa Williams


Listen Later

In recent years a major trend in popular culture has been self-awareness. From the emergence of personality tests and counselors/therapists, self-awareness has become something more valued and recognized. But why is self-awareness important in our faith journey with God? And if self-awareness is so important, how do we learn the things about ourselves that we don’t know about ourselves?

In this episode, my therapist Melissa Williams breaks down self-awareness into principles that we can apply in our faith journey. Currently, Melissa Williams works as a professional therapist at La Sierra University, and for those of you who don’t know what a therapist does, a therapist is trained to listen to your problems and help you discover the solutions you’re looking for. Basically, therapists help you understand yourself better. Since she’s played a huge role, as my therapist, in helping me grow in my self-awareness, I thought it would be exciting to bring her onto the show to talk about this topic.
