In this episode of Truism, James, Jorge, and Manny tackle a feeling everyone knows but few admit: not fitting in. From awkward fishing trips to surprise hugs to school-day insecurities, the guys unpack why those “I don’t belong here” moments may actually be divine indicators rather than personal failures.

A touching real-life story about a baby goose raised among sandhill cranes becomes the anchor illustration—reminding us that you can learn the walk of the crowd and still never lose who you truly are. Just like that goose, God often places us in unexpected environments not to erase our identity but to reveal it.

Throughout the conversation, the guys highlight how God has always used outsiders, misfits, and unlikely people—Noah, Joseph, David, John the Baptist, even Jesus—to prove that being different is not a disadvantage in the Kingdom; it’s preparation.

As the episode builds, James, Jorge, and Manny emphasize three truths every believer needs when they feel out of place:

1. Remember Who Called You — God made you on purpose, with purpose.

2. Stop Comparing Yourself — Your difference isn’t a flaw; it’s your lane.

3. Embrace Your Peculiar — What makes you stand out may be the exact thing God intends to use.

This conversation is funny, heartfelt, and full of perspective. Whether you’re navigating church life, friendships, work, or your own inner insecurities, the takeaway is clear:

You weren’t designed to blend in.
You were created to stand firm, stand out, and shine for His glory.
