4: How to overcome an identity crisis | Renewal

How do you know when someone is having a crisis of confidence in who they are? You can't see the issues behind their crisis, how they're thinking or what their beliefs are. But most of us can see external behaviours that reflect an internal crisis. The results of a crisis of confidence is that the person is left with a baseline of fear over their identity and that can lead to adopting a false identity. The good news is that when we become a follower of Jesus, the renewal process helps us to see ourselves the way God sees us. We begin to realise what a renewed life in Christ looks like.

In this message, we are going to look at someone in the Bible who struggled with these issues. You could say that they had a full-on identity crisis and thankfully, a full-on identity renewal. In the message we will discover the 5 stages that took place in this person's life and how we can learn from them and apply them to our lives today.
