This week, Jake and Brett discuss the true meaning of being yourself. God created us in a particular way and we need to live in that truth. There’s a balance to be had between thinking too little or too highly of ourselves. Men are often afraid to show how strong they really are because they’re afraid they will hurt someone, but we were sent to be representatives of a powerful God and so we need to carry ourselves accordingly. Holding all these things in balance can be difficult, but this conversation will help in achieving that goal.
