Who you are and who you want to be… Do they feel oceans apart?
If you’re feeling a disconnect between the two, you’re not alone and you’re probably exhausted.
The battle between True Self and False Self is more common than you know. What is true is you are created in love by God for a purpose. But, this broken world takes a toll on that vulnerable, soft, true core. So, the “True Self” gives way to the “False Self.”
In this episode, Josh and Kit expose the masks and fronts we use for what they are - survival mechanisms. And, you were made for much more than just survival. We hope you’ll join us as we explore another step in your spiritual journey.
Unraveling the mask to discover your true self, to live in freedom; this is your next step on ‘Becoming Whole.”
Highlights:
our false self is often created by pain and pain is often a way we discover our way to our true self
When we can embrace the identity God has given us that’s real and solid then we can have a sense of stability that defines our life
Let’s have courage to feel the pain and to allow God to unravel us
Homework:
Take some time to list your core needs - your need to be seen, to have a deep connection, to be affirmed of your goodness and value, to know your existence is necessary.
Now take some time to think on how you’re meeting those needs.
Read Ephesians 1:3-6 and repeat to yourself; I am accepted. I am redeemed. I am covered by grace.
Hear God’s words, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9) and accept His invitation to face Him as you are.
Allow God to search your heart and ask God in. Try reading Psalm 139 as your heart's prayer.

“The Hidden Life: Awakened” by Kitty Crenshaw
“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything.” James 1:2-4
“Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful Heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus - all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts! And he chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unsustained innocence. For it was always his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace - for the same love he has for his Beloved One, Jesus, he has for us. And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure! Ephesians 1: 3-6 TPT
