If I asked you,” tell me about yourself, who are you?” What would you say? Most people answer who they are in relationship with or not (single, married, divorced, widowed, etc.) or with what they do for a living. Yet, a problem arises for many when those things change. The person struggles to adapt with truly knowing who they are as a result of that circumstantial chance. You could call it an identity crisis. Followers of Jesus have to be reminded of who we are in Christ. Because when we forget we are prone to believe terrible lies. This episode begins a new series focusing on who we are in Christ, (a new ID) as a result of the Father’s love given to us in gospel of Jesus. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jason-tovey/message
