In this episode of the Grace Church Members podcast, Chris Rivers and Scott Mozingo talk with Downtown campus pastor Scofield Foster and volunteer Haley Barinowski about the concept of being self-made. Our culture elevates autonomy and self-reliance, which is an alluring concept, but it fuels our anxiety and loneliness. We can only find freedom, rest, and joy in the One who created us.
Key Points:
- The dangers of self-reliance and the illusion of being "self-made,” particularly around issues of gender and sex
- The difference between fleeting emotions and timeless wisdom
- What it looks like to “tie ourselves to the mast” and “sing a better song” to resist the world’s allure
- Finding genuine joy and freedom by placing Jesus at the core of our existence
