We are our own is the fundamental assumption of modern life. And if we are our own, then it's up to us to forge our own identities and to make our lives significant. But while that may sound empowering, it turns out to be a crushing responsibility—one that never actually delivers on its promise of a free and fulfilled life, but instead leaves us burned out, depressed, anxious, and alone. This phenomenon is mapped out onto the very structures of our society and helps explain our society's underlying disorder.
In this episode of the EML podcast, our guest host Lauren Bronson Petrous sits down with Dr. Alan Noble to talk about why identity is so important. Understanding who we are and to whom we belong is key to the Christian life.
