Tribesmen

Who Am I?


Listen Later

#011. For the first part of our series on freedom, we’re answering the question, “Who am I?” Freedom is one of the three pillars of Tribesmen, and we can’t have freedom if we don’t understand our identity.

When we talk about freedom, we’re talking about fighting for each other to overcome challenges. But the things we fight for, and the way we fight for them, are crucial to actually obtaining freedom.

For most men, figuring out the places in our lives where we aren’t free yet, usually comes down to 1 of 2 areas. The first of those is identity, the question of who am I?

Having confidence in our identities as men is so crucial. At the very least, we should be able to answer the question, “Who am I?” by saying, “I’m a man.” If we’re not there yet, then every other attempt at answering that question is going to fail us in some way.

As men, we’re supposed to receive this answer from our fathers. But most of us didn’t get that answer the way we needed it, and so we go looking for an answer in all the wrong places. Whether it’s sports, work, money, or women, men will try to find their identity in anything.

In order to find our true identity, we need to get a settled answer to that question of “Who am I?” A Tribe of men can help point us towards manhood. But we also need to hear the answer to that question from someone who has the authority to answer it definitively. This is where Jesus is so necessary in our search for freedom. 

Only Jesus can give us the kind of lasting freedom we’re really looking for. And it only comes by asking him. We encourage you to spend some time listening to what Jesus has to say to you.
