This week, Jake and Bob discuss identity: why it matters, how it is formed, and its role in the healing process. We live in a fallen world with an enemy who spreads lies that can send us down paths far from the truth of who we are. Through questions like "Who am I?", "Whose am I?", and "Do I belong?" Jake and Bob explore how to reclaim our God-given identity and rest in the freedom of living in that truth.

Key Points:

Finding your identity in Christ and living out of that truth is part of the healing process
We begin the search for our identity in childhood and continue to deepen it (whether in truth or lies) throughout life
Because we live in a fallen world, our identity can easily be influenced by the lies we believe about ourselves, others, and the world around us
Healing is more than the relief from pain. Maturing in our God-given identity is actually a form of healing
We become what we believe we are. We come to know ourselves and learn to love ourselves as we learn who we are in God
There is value and healing to be found in the journey of finding our identity in God
