Nowadays we have a lot of pressure from the world around us to do all the things and do them perfectly; to be everything to everyone. The problem with trying to live up to this image or expectation is that we can end up feeling a sense of failure, that we are not enough, empty, exhausted, unlovely, and ever-striving but never arriving. What if we got off the hamster wheel of chasing our self-worth and identity from our jobs, roles and the approval of others? What if we first found confidence from knowing who we were made to be and owning that. What if we found our security from knowing that what defines us is who God says we are?

In this episode, we will discuss:

• Where the source of our identity should be.
• What God say about who we are.
• How shame can redefine our identity by what we do or don’t do.
• How we can break free from seeing ourselves through the lens of shame.
• Ways we can find balance with so many mixed messages coming at us about who we should be and what we should be doing.
