This summer we will be replaying episodes that Steve chooses and sees as “stellar and vital in the care of our souls.” It’s our hope that you’ll listen and then share the podcast around in your community, family, and spheres of influence.

We struggle to identity ourselves, but what is the real truth about our Identity?

Today Dustin is talking about Identity with David Sachsenmaier, a trained and certified executive coach whose identity was challenged by a family crisis as a child and now focuses on identity as a cornerstone in his work with others.

Dustin and David discuss the Three Lies we tend to believe about who we are:

1. I am what I do: Our job defines us, we find worth/identity in our work.

2. I am what I have: Identity is wrapped around what we have and own. “I brought nothing into this world, and I will take nothing with me when I leave this world”.

3. I am what others think of me: Our view of ourselves is being shaped the day we are born, by our interactions with others, and especially our relationship with our parents.
