In this week’s episode, I am joined by my friend and author Suze Fair to dive into the lies we have come to love and live by, maybe without even knowing it. Suze and I discuss some of the most common lies we tend to believe about our worth, identity, and value. Drawing on her own story and experiences, Suze outlines several distortions and their impact on our sense of self.

From working for our worth and striving for a sense of security, the challenges of finding our true selves often feels hopeless. Yet, together we process the powerful practices of reclaiming our identity as beloved children of God. We also discuss the necessity of hiding God’s word in our hearts and returning to the Word as our foundation for security and love. 

Additionally, we discuss practice steps we have taken to begin to live in the freedom and rest that God has gifted us through Christ. In untangling the lies of our culture we can move from: striving to surrender, perfection to belovedness, confusion to confidence. 

Reflection questions to begin your journey: 

1. What is getting my attention?

2. What am I feeling? 

3. God, what are you saying to me? 

4. What do you want me to do with it?
