Own Your Identity

Take You with You: Don't Abandon Yourself


Listen Later

Have you ever left part of yourself behind?

Many of us are moving through life carrying invisible instructions:

"Stay here."
"You're too weak."
"You're too emotional."
"I'll come back for you once I've figured life out."

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about the unexpected grief that surfaced while God was blessing my ministry—and how a mentor's simple words changed the way I understood healing:

"Big Jason is doing big things, but Little Jason can't keep up."

We'll explore what it looks like to stop abandoning the younger, hurting, grieving, or ashamed parts of ourselves and instead bring them with us as we follow Christ.

Whether you've experienced same-sex attraction, struggled with shame after relapse, wrestled with loneliness, or simply feel like you've spent years trying to become someone else, I hope this conversation reminds you that Jesus doesn't ask for a polished version of you. He invites the real you to walk with Him.

You don't have to become someone else before following Jesus.

You don't have to leave yourself behind.

You can take you with you.
