Luke 8:1-3

Who am I? What does it mean to be me? People wrestle with this question when they are young, in adulthood, through midlife crises, in retirement, and even at the end of life. We find ourselves trying to be someone we are not. Copying someone else. Believe our inner critic. Riddled by anxiety and self-doubt. Slaves to ego and pride. Bombarded by voices telling us that we are what we own, we are who other people say we are, and we are what we accomplish. We slip into daydreams wishing we had someone else's life. This episode helps you wrestle with this question: "Why weren't you...you?"

But what about "goodnewsing"? There are a myriad of reasons that a lot of Christians don't intentionally practice any kind of evangelism, and there are many non-Christians who hope a Christian won't try to evangelize them. This episode explores the ways that regular people actually come to faith in Jesus.
