Identity: Dr. Darla Rakes

Send us Fan MailWho are we, really? In a world full of labels, expectations, and shifting definitions of self, it’s easy to lose sight of our true identity. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Darla Rakes, a leader, educator, and woman of deep faith, to talk about what it means to anchor our identity in Christ. Together, we explore why our sense of self apart from Him will always feel incomplete, how faith gives us clarity and purpose, and why knowing who we are in Christ brings freedom from comparison and striving. Dr. Rakes shares both personal stories and biblical truths that point us back to the One who created us, reminding us that identity isn’t something we achieve—it’s something we receive.If you’ve ever wrestled with questions of worth, belonging, or direction, this conversation will encourage you to find your answer in the unshakable foundation of Christ.https://www.evangel.edu/press_releases/the-real-you-discover-the-person-god-made-you-to-be-by-dr-darla-rakes-now-available/ A 4-day, in-person program designed for ministry leaders, individuals, and couples seeking a more specialized and focused experience.The assessment and therapy process utilizes robust psychological testing and intensive outpatient counseling to provide mental health support for challenges, including burnout, grief, moral failure, relationship conflict, anxiety, depression, and trauma.https://emerge.org/intensives/ Emerge.org - "You Don't Have to Walk Alone" Support the showContact Us:Email the show: [email protected]/EmergeCounselingMinistriesThank you for listening, sharing, and praying for our podcast!Support the ExEm podcast by clicking here:https://www.buzzsprout.com/882700/support
