Summary
This week, Jake and Bob discuss identity: why it matters, how it is formed, and its role in the healing process. We live in a fallen world with an enemy who spreads lies that can send us down paths far from the truth of who we are. Through questions like "Who am I?", "Whose am I?", and "Do I belong?" Jake and Bob explore how to reclaim our God-given identity and rest in the freedom of living in that truth.
Key Points:
- Finding your identity in Christ and living out of that truth is part of the healing process
- We begin the search for our identity in childhood and continue to deepen it (whether in truth or lies) throughout life
- Because we live in a fallen world, our identity can easily be influenced by the lies we believe about ourselves, others, and the world around us
- Healing is more than the relief from pain. Maturing in our God-given identity is actually a form of healing
- We become what we believe we are. We come to know ourselves and learn to love ourselves as we learn who we are in God
- There is value and healing to be found in the journey of finding our identity in God

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Restore the Glory podcast. I'm Jake Kim. |
| 0:06.0 | And I'm Bob Schutz. |
| 0:08.0 | We're two former Catholic therapists who are talking about healing and restoration and everything |
| 0:13.0 | we've learned in our personal and professional lives. |
| 0:15.0 | Yeah, we're glad you're with us. |
| 0:17.0 | All right, Bob. Let's get into it. |
| 0:19.0 | So Bob, we've been in a series here just on desire. We talked with Father Matthew a few episodes ago, and we're kind of evolving. I don't know if our listeners will pick it up, but we're moving through kind of somewhat of an intentional curriculum of sorts where we talked about philosophy and healing and then getting into |
| 0:38.9 | the matter of the heart and desire and healing. Then we had this episode that come out last about |
| 0:45.0 | the healing process and how it's actually really rooted in the church's tradition on prayer. |
| 0:49.8 | And that was just last episode. And now we're shifting into desire. Again, all these layers into identity. |
| 0:55.7 | Sorry, thank you. I'm still, I'm so focused on desire. Thank you. Now we're moving into identity. |
| 1:02.1 | And it's a natural progression because, you know, it's the attunement to desire. It's the being able to see the heart, understand the structure of the |
| 1:11.6 | soul, how it all works, that we end up then coming to discover ourselves. And that's where we're |
| 1:16.2 | going to get into how that happens and even the healing necessary within that. And the next |
| 1:21.4 | episode, we're getting into somewhat more of a hot political topic. And all this stuff is critical to kind of have laid out before we talk and we're going to have our special guest come on where we're going to be talking about more specific identity things and the modern culture etc. We have and Jason Everett join us to talk about those dynamics and things. So Bob, any other kind of just segue there |
| 1:44.8 | before we get into identity? |
| 1:46.3 | Yeah, just thinking, we talk in our retreats |
| 1:48.5 | about how our desires flow out of our identity, |
| 1:52.2 | and then also the healing process is getting down |
| 1:55.2 | into the places where our identity has become distorted, |
| 1:58.8 | and our desires have become disordered. |
| 2:00.7 | And so this is really all integrated in our minds, as you said. |
