From The Mount: S2 Ep72 - Who Am I Really?

In this episode of From The Mount, and our third episode of our Taboo series, we dive into one of the biggest questions students and adults alike wrestle with: Who am I really? In this honest and hope-filled conversation, we sit down with Mo Isom Aiken to talk about identity, comparison, performance, and the freedom that comes from finding our worth in Christ rather than in achievements, appearance, relationships, or social media. Together, we discuss the pressures students face today, the dangers of building identity on unstable foundations, and what Scripture says about being fully known and fully loved by God. We share practical information on how to have an honest conversation with our kids at every age level.
