Work Club 008 - When Identity Gets Twisted
If your worth isn’t your talent, your title, or your output… then what is it?This week on Work Club, we’re stripping it all back—the stuff that’s replaced Jesus in our lives, the ways we tie our identity to our performance, and the pressure we put on ourselves to be enough.We’re talking about what’s left when you lose everything you leaned on.About why real self-worth isn’t earned.And about how God calls us valuable—not because of what we do, but because of who He is.This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a lifelong journey.But it’s where real freedom starts. It’s not easy. But it’s real. And it’s time.Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode!=============================⏰ Timecodes ⏰=============================(0:00) - Intro(1:16) - The Grapple: Self Worth(1:35) - Ingram: Knowing v.

Work Club 007 - The Things We Do To Cope...
We all cope—but not all coping brings healing.In this episode of Work Club, we’re getting brutally honest about the stuff we run to when life hits hard. Because let’s be real: you can’t walk in freedom if you’re avoiding the very thing that needs healing.So we’re going there—into the blackhole.The numb-out habits. The distractions. The survival strategies that feel good in the moment... but keep us stuck.We’re talking about what it looks like to actually face pain—with Jesus, with Scripture, and with people who won’t let you hide.Inside this episode: What Ephesians 4 says about getting truly free How to tell if your coping is healing or hurting you And why breakthrough sometimes starts with two questions: How am I feeling? What do I need?This isn’t just about mental health. It’s about spiritual maturity. It’s about identity. It’s about letting God into the mess—not just after you’ve cleaned it up.This is Episode 7 of Work Club.And yeah, we’re still in process—but we’re done pretending we’re not.Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode!=============================⏰ Timecodes ⏰=============================(0:00 Intro(1:30) What causes YOU to COPE?(3:30) Daniel’s Counselor story(5:25) Erin & the blackhole(6:41) Coping: healthy & unhealthy(8:22) Face the Pain(10:35) Sooooo many triggers(12:00) Ephesians 4: KEYS (13:43) Death is the doorway to life(16:05) THIS won’t kill me: If you’re going through hell, keep going!(17:50) How am I feeling?
