EP 7: WHO ARE YOU REALLY? || A QUICK DIVE INTO IDENTITY || BUILDING FOR BETTER

In Position

There are many mental health issues that are increasingly prevalent in today’s world and one of the core culprits of depression and eventual suicide ideation is a lack of the understanding of who we are. Identity.

We live in a world where people define themselves by what they do. However, it is clear that no amount of success, reputation or ascent up the corporate ladder will ever satisfy our souls. We see this constantly when we hear about suicides committed by wealthy, seemingly successful, happy people who we believe should be completely satisfied with their lives. You can’t fit a square peg into a round hole. You can’t fill who you are with what you do.

God called man “very good” before He assigned Him work. Can you see yourself the way He sees you without the extras? Are you pleased with who He made? Is your contentment and satisfaction based off of variables? If yes, that’s an unstable foundation. It is dangerous to continue to build on weak ground. Instead of waiting for storms to test your roots and destroy your life, we can intentionally deconstruct and rebuild on solid ground. Trust me, it’s better and way less fatal.

The devil isn’t sleeping y’all. It has always been a scheme of his to get people to reorder and reprioritize to build wrong. From time, he has tried to get people to make who they are a factor of what they do instead of God’s order - you do what you do because because of who you are. The devil says prove yourselves by your works - “If you are the son of God, turn these stones to bread”. God says work from who you are.

In this episode we dive into identity. We will not be ignorant of the enemy’s schemes. This is a major one.
