Who Told You Who You Are? The Temptation to Redesign Our Humanity

If God has already given us our identity, why do we feel such a strong pull to reinvent it? We feel it in the gap between who we are and who we think we should be. This isn't only a cultural moment; it's an ancient human temptation. Scripture names it as an exchange: We refuse what God has given and remake ourselves on our terms (Romans 1; Ephesians 4). This pull is hard to resist in a world of designer identities, where life becomes something to shape, craft, and perfect. In this session, we’ll seek to understand this temptation by looking to Jesus—the true human—who reveals the life we were created to receive.
