Identity Crisis: Available vs. Unattainable - In this series we are comparing and contrasting an identity that is achieved through career, experiences, romantic relationships and other secular pursuits to an identity that is received through God's love and grace.  Jesse Lusko looks at Isaiah 57:10-21 and explains how an "authentic identity" became a fixation of our society and how it can lead to an unattainable need for recognition and affirmation. 

In the founding message at Counterculture Church in Portland, Oregon,  Jesse Lusko looks at the story of "the Pharisee and the Tax Collector" and explains that we may be surprised by who Jesus most often criticized.  It is possible to have all the right beliefs and the right behavior but we doing it for all the wrong reasons.  We will become a counterculture when we admit our own bad motives, come to Jesus for mercy, and then extend that mercy to the city around us.
