Episode notes

Most of us are our own worst critics, often thinking of ourselves as flawed and unlovable. Before long, we begin to assume that God must agree with our self-evaluation.

But is that actually true?

In this episode, we how what we believe God thinks about us shapes our identity and our spiritual lives. When we assume that God is disappointed in us, our pursuit of change becomes driven by shame and insecurity. But when we begin to see ourselves through the lens of the gospel—as new creations in Christ and beloved sons and daughters—transformation begins to flow from love rather than the attempt to earn it.

Learning what God truly thinks about you may change the way you think about everything.
