How to Come to Grips with the Real You, Part 1

About this Episode

There are 3 questions everyone, regardless of culture, economic status, or even religious conviction will ask themselves. Who am I? Where do I belong? And what am I supposed to do? The answers to those questions may not be as difficult as you might suppose. Chip will reveals how you can begin to answer those questions for yourself.

Three questions we all ask ourselves:

Who am I? (Identity)
Where do I belong? (Security)
What am I supposed to do? (Significance)

Why is it so hard to answer these questions?

Genesis 3:8-13

Three obstacles to getting right answers:

Fear rooted in SHAME.
Hiding rooted in INSECURITY.
Blaming rooted in denial.
