Ep. 118 - Freedom From the Need to Be Recognized

Today on I Know a Guy, we’re talking about something most men quietly struggle with. The addiction to be affirmed, or recognized. The need to be noticed, validated and  affirmed. But there is freedom from that cycle. When a man understands his identity as a beloved son, he stops living for applause and begins living from something much deeper. If you’ve ever felt invisible - or if your sense of worth rises and falls with what people think about you - this episode will speak directly to your heart. After months of writing, praying, wrestling, and honestly processing my own story, my new book The Father Eclipse: How Your Earthly Father Shaped Your Identity—and How to See God Clearly Again is now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats.  "I Am Your Beloved"  Written by Jonathan David Helser and Brandon Lake.  Performed by Jonathan and Melissa Helser.  ℗ & © 2022 Bethel Music.
