About this listen

In the 21st-century West, identity is everything. Never has it been more important, culturally speaking, to know who you are and remain true to yourself. Expressive individualism—the belief that looking inward is the way to find yourself—has become the primary approach to identity formation, and questioning anyone's "self-made self" is often considered a threat or attack.

Prompted by his own past crisis of identity, Brian Rosner challenges the status quo by arguing that, while knowing yourself is of some value, it cannot be the sole basis for one's identity. He provides an approach to identity formation that leads to a more stable and satisfying sense of self. This approach looks outward to others—acknowledging that we are social beings—and looks upward to God to find a self who is intimately known and loved by him. How to Find Yourself equips listeners from a variety of backgrounds to engage sympathetically with some of the most pressing questions of our day.

Brian explains very well the limitations and problems of finding our identity within ourselves or in materialism. He shows how finding our identity in Christ overcomes those problems and offers a lot of advantages. Brian speaks not just to Christians but also to those still considering Christ, using hardly any jargon or academic term, and thus making the book accessible to a wide range of audience. He explains relevant Bible passages well and applies them to the issue of identity in a fresh and practical way. Highly recommended.

Great explanation and application of having our identity “in Christ”.
