Keeping Our Insecurities from Taking Over, with Aaron Barnett

50 minutes

Aaron Barnett was a promising college athlete when he lost multiple close family members, a relationship, and, seemingly, his life’s purpose. After literally wasting away through months of depression, he reinvested in his relationship with the Lord and found a new purpose—helping young people from all walks of life find theirs. In this week’s episode Aaron converses with The Redeemed’s Nate Dewberry about what he’s learned on these journeys, from dealing with crippling insecurity and major life transitions to embracing our creative sides and the divine inspiration that God, in his grace, has placed in each of us.
