Do you ever feel like you’re lost in a sea of options and expectations when it comes to figuring out who you are and what you want to do with your life? Do you wonder if there’s more to life than just chasing after success, popularity, or happiness?
If so, you might want to check out this article by Gordon E. Carkner. He talks about how the Christian faith offers a different way of thinking about identity that’s based on love, grace, and purpose. It’s not about creating yourself from scratch or choosing from a limited menu of options. It’s about discovering who you already are and what you’re called to do.
