Healing the Self | The False Self | Part 2 | Senior Pastor Keith Stewart

Send us Fan MailThe Healing SelfThe False Self | Part 2Senior Pastor Keith StewartSeptember 28, 2025We all wrestle with the temptation to project a version of ourselves that hides our true fears, flaws, and struggles. As a result, many of us chase after approval, admiration, and accomplishments to fill the deep need of belonging. Pastor Keith shows how true freedom comes not through pretense, but by being fully known by God and anchored in His acceptance. Discover how to let down the mask and recover the true self God designed you to be._____________Discussion Questions 1. Where do you notice yourself most tempted to “wear a mask” or live out of a false self? 2. Why do you think seeking admiration, appearance, or accomplishments can feel so rewarding but ultimately leave us empty? 3. How does it change your perspective to realize that God is never disappointed in you because He already knows you completely? 4. What “useful lies” have you believed about yourself, and how have they shaped your behavior? 5. How has genuine community (friends, family, church) helped you see the “real you”? What makes an authentic community both risky and essential? 6. What is one practical step you can take this week to live more vulnerably and authentically with God, yourself, or others?
