Key Takeaways:

  • Healing begins when we stop striving and start receiving.
  • Addiction and fatherlessness often distort our sense of worth and identity.
  • God meets us in our lowest moments—not with shame, but with invitation.
  • Sonship is not a title we achieve but a truth we are invited to receive.
  • Restoration is possible when we stop hiding and allow others to walk with us.
  • Spiritual fathers can play a critical role in calling out identity.
  • Confession and community are powerful agents of transformation.
  • Freedom often begins with one simple question: “Who told you that you’re not a son?”

Memorable Quotes:

  • “There’s a war over your identity.”
  • “You can’t earn sonship. It has to be received.”
  • “You’re not as alone as you think you are.”
  • “God fathered me through the kindness of others.”
  • “My addiction was a symptom of something deeper.”
