Summary

We often talk about letting go of the negative labels that people have put on us… but what about the positive ones? What happens when our entire identity is built on the success we achieve in this world… And then we have to lay it all down? Today on the podcast, I have an on-air counseling session with Demi Leigh Tebow, as she opens up about the struggle and depression she felt laying down the crown of Miss universe… and realizing how much her identity was found in unreliable things. We trace this “self sufficiency” back to her childhood, and unpack some of the patterns that led her to that difficult place … and the lessons she has learned and continues to learn in placing her identity in Christ alone. There is no label bad enough or great enough worth holding onto … except what Jesus says. This conversation was so good, and I know you are going to love it as well.
