Identity is often a point of conflict or source of anxiety within our culture at large. Christianity is not immune or excluded. This book unpacks the complexities of identity and invites you to consider a Biblical perspective on which to build a solid foundation.
How can we broach the subject of identity with people today in a way that validates their feelings without ignoring truth? This study guide is designed for group use, although individuals find it useful as well.
Each week you will look at different sources people derive their identity from as well as filters people consider those sources through. The book starts with a discussion on the history of identity formation in the human race. The following weeks you will consider the various sources identity can come from, including groups you associate with, achievements, what makes you unique, sexuality, and finally identity in Christ.
This holistic approach avoids the pitfalls of disagreement surrounding narrow views on identity. This book does not tell you how to view your identity, rather it provides a guide to discovering which sources of and voices into your identity you believe serve as the best foundation to build your identity on.
