Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. This is part two of the two part interview series that

0:15.4

I am doing with Stephen Bancar. So this is the second half of our conversation. Equally

0:22.2

as powerful, if not even more powerful than the first half that I know that you guys are

0:26.7

going to gain a lot of insight out of this. So I hope you enjoy.

0:36.9

I think that it's important to make the distinction as Christians between, for example, working

0:41.5

out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Knowing it has got who works in us. And constantly

0:48.8

obsessing over self discovery and taking, you know, assessment after assessment personality

1:48.8

You can know yourself as much as possible. That in and of itself is not going to give you peace.

1:53.0

Do you agree with that? Yeah, I would agree. Unless on your path to knowing yourself, you come to

1:59.0

the realization that you're a fallen human creature and that you need salvation. But that's not where

2:04.5

that path is taking you. That path is trying to pump your tires up and inflate your sense of self,

2:10.7

right? An honest path of self discovery is the path to I'm broken, I'm a sinner, I'm in need of

2:16.9
