Our Identity in Christ Mental Health Series
from Southcliff · host Preston Gillham
How you see yourself is a primary ingredient in your mental health—but where does that image come from? In this episode, guest speaker Preston Gilham continues our series on Mental Health by exploring the three essential building blocks of human identity: Belonging, Recognition (Significance), and Worth. Drawing from the insights of Abraham Maslow and William Glasser, Preston bridges the gap between psychological needs and theological truths. Using a powerful personal story of loss and a unique look at the "price tag" God placed on your life, this message moves beyond abstract theory into a lived reality. You will discover: ?Belonging: Why the promise of Hebrews 13:5 means you are never truly abandoned. ?Significance: How occupying the same "time and space" as the Creator proves you matter. ?Worth: The "Equivalent Value" principle—understanding that God viewed you as worth the life of His Son, Jesus Christ. If you have ever felt invisible, devalued, or insecure, this sermon offers a practical path to renewing your mind. Learn how to practice the truth of who you are in Christ until it becomes the foundation of your peace. Scripture References: Hebrews 13:5-6 – God’s promise to never leave or forsake. Acts 17:28 – Finding our existence and being in Him. 1 Corinthians 6:20 – The reality of being bought with a price. Philippians 4:8-9 – The discipline of thinking on what is true.
