TNMU #209: Grounded In Your Identity

The Next Man Up | Equipping Fathers | Raising Men - A podcast by Mark Stanifer

Who are you? What do you use to define your identity? For many guys, we use what we do or the things we own or even the people we’re associated with. Yet what happens if or when those things are no longer there? If we’re not grounded in something more, something deeper and core to our being, then we risk not fully knowing who we are. Join us this week on a journey of discovering you are more than what you do.   Expanded Notes: What do we mean by Identity? We are more than what we do or what we have We are more than the things that have happened to us We have immutable value because we are sons of Father God It is about who we are “I” identity represents the who that you are that is foundational and constant (i.e. son of god) “i” identity represents the way in which you want to live, your values and standards Fear holds us back from letting go of the things we think define us Growth happens when we choose to be uncomfortable What can you do to grow your understanding? Acknowledge the things or roles you have let represent who you are Grow your awareness of who you are that is more than those things Learn to become content (Philippians 4:11) Songs for the journey: No Longer Slaves Who You Say I Am To pursue coaching for yourself around identity, email us at [email protected]
