Ep20: What Makes You Come Alive? (Finding Your True Self)

What if self-awareness isn’t selfish… but spiritual?

This is Part 1 of the Align With Your Design series, where we explore how understanding who you truly are is a key part of spiritual growth.

In this teaching on the false self vs true self, we look at how Psalm 139 reveals your God-given design and life purpose — including your personality, strengths, passions, and the unique way you were created to live.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

If you’ve ever:

• felt like you’re performing instead of actually living
• struggled to understand who you really are
• wondered what your purpose is

then this will help you:

• reconnect with your true self
• understand how God actually designed you
• recognize clues pointing to your life purpose
