Ep. 75 - IDENTITY UNDER ATTACK | Social media, culture, trying to fit in and feeling lost

In our society today identity is EVERYTHING. We look for it in so many places - how much money we make, the car we drive, our social status, our relationships, the career we have, the clothing we wear or the following we have on social media.

It seems that despite the things or success that people have, we’re all still searching for the group of people we fit in with or who we really are; our worth, our value and our identity.

In the years before social media we were more likely to be surrounded by a smaller community, family and friends, not remotely interested in and concerned with what people across the other side of the world were doing. But in this day and age… wow. It’s so different. Social media, while not denying the wonderful avenues it opens up for us, has completely changed the way we do things. At the click of a button we can see what people across the other side of the world are doing, where they are travelling, what they are wearing, who they are in a relationship with and how many likes they’re getting. This is a recipe for an identity crisis.

In my life, it wasn’t until I found my identity in something OTHER than myself that I found true freedom, hope and strength.

In this video I share more about my heart for the identity of the young (and old) people in this generation, why identity is so important, how we see it play out in Scripture and the world and so much more.

I trust and pray that it will be an encouragement for you - let’s go on this journey together!
