Listen "Trading Faces, by John and Angel Beeson"
Episode Synopsis
Today, Roberta talks to John and Angel Beeson about their new book Trading Faces: Removing the Masks that Hide Your God-Given Identity, available from Kregel publishers.A biblical and practical guide on how to replace false identities with the healthy truthSeeking fulfilment, many Christians turn to identities that promise to give their lives meaning: profession, roles as spouse or parent, personality types, even sexuality--anything that can be held up to others as the empowering core of who they are. But when these new labels don’t give them any real foundation for hope, they end up feeling disappointed, directionless, and defeated. Those false identities turn out to be only sand.John and Angel Beeson have seen this problem again and again in their respective roles as pastor and counselor. And they want searching Christians to know the truth: a fulfilling understanding of self can only be found by rooting one's identity in the unchangeable and nonnegotiable understanding of who we were created to be.This husband-and-wife team considers ten identities that masquerade as truth and challenge readers to trade those labels for the ones Christ offers. They explain why true identity matters, how our masks can suffocate us, and how substitute identities can become idolatry. They share real struggles from real people. And they offer hope in a comprehensive index of our identities in Christ, both individual and the collective identity of the church.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.
