Are you living as your TRUE SELF? | S4E6 Nov 05, 2024

Show notes

On this week's episode of the Exploring More Podcast, our hosts talk about living as your true self vs. your false self. Hosts Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings kick off the discussion by sharing how the enemy can use us to do his work for him through our false self that is operating in us. They dive into the topics of biblical references, modern day parables in movies, and signals of the false self. Michael and SJ take a deep dive into the idea that true kingdom masculinity is rooted in being your true self, who God created you to be, to come fully alive. They emphasize that statements like "It's just the way I am" are most likely justifying and pointing to a false self. Just as the enemy has files on you, you also can have files on the enemy. The conversation takes a deep look at Galatians 5 and what the false self life plays out to be filled with. The overarching message is the incredible importance that living as your true self directly impacts your own journey and kingdom masculinity. This conversation between Michael and SJ is another step in the journey of exploring Kingdom Masculinity together. We hope you enjoy this episode of the Exploring More Podcast.
