About this Episode

Being comfortable with who God made you to be, for most of us, is a lifelong pursuit, filled with anxiety and fear. Chip helps you begin to discover how to come to grips with the real YOU.

Three questions we all ask ourselves:

  1. Who am I? (Identity)
  2. Where do I belong? (Security)
  3. 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:

  1. Fear rooted in SHAME.
  2. Hiding rooted in INSECURITY.
  3. Blaming rooted in denial.

God’s Answers: Romans 12:3-8

  1. Who are you? -Romans 12:3
    • The Command: Think ACCURATELY about yourself.
  2. Where do you belong? -Romans 12:4-5
    • The Reason: You have a ROLE to fill.
  3. What are you supposed to do? -Romans 12:6-8
    • The Practice: Discover and DEPLOY your spiritual gift.

Never forget who you really are!

  1. God uniquely created you – you are ETERNALLY VALUABLE. -Psalm139:13-14
  2. God placed you in His family – you are UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED. -Ephesians 3:19-22
  3. God gifted you to fulfill His purpose – you are IRREPLACEABLY SIGNIFICANT. -Ephesians 2:10
