How many times have you asked yourself, "Who am I?"
The desire to answer this question—whether it manifests in self-enhancement strategies or self-serving biases—is part of being human. Yet, through a Biblical lens, we know something has gone terribly wrong with our human nature. Brokenness happened when sin separated us from our Creator God, and the answers we seek are only obtainable when we reconnect with him.
Using the Gospel-Centered Integrative Framework for Therapy developed at Redeemer Counseling Services, Director Judy Cha explains:
The human desire for an identity
The role of shame and hurt in shaping who we think we are
Self-redemption, and why it doesn't work
The Gospel as God's rescue plan for a lost humanity
How to ardently know your story, truly live in your community, and deeply connect with God
