Episode 23: featuring guest Dr. Phil Huebner

What defines who you are?

In a culture that encourages people to look inward for identity, it’s easy to let feelings of anxiety, guilt, comparison, loneliness, and fear become the lens through which we see ourselves. But what happens when those feelings change?

In Episode 23 of Faith Footnotes, we are joined by Dr. Phil Huebner, author of Who Am I? Understanding Your Identity in Christ Through Facts Not Feelings. Drawing from years of experience serving teens and families, Dr. Huebner explains why so many people wrestle with the question “Who am I?” and why the answer isn’t found by looking within but by looking to Christ.

We discuss why emotions can so easily shape identity and how the unchanging facts of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection provide a secure foundation for confidence and peace. The conversation also offers practical encouragement for parents, grandparents, teachers, and mentors seeking to point young people back to God’s Word.

    A very enlightening episode. Thank you all. I had to listen to it twice and really let the message sink in the second time.

    Reminded me of Luke 9:23 – Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

    This in some ways; when we are younger easier to do; but then trying to do when a teenager and an adult for most of us is extremely tough. Maybe why Jesus used the word “daily”.

    A good reminder and a blessing.
