Christian Men's Leader: Most Men Are Having An Identity Crisis & Don't Even Realize It | Ep. 346
The Super Human LifeShow Notes
What if the biggest problem facing men today isn't a lack of discipline, ambition, or opportunity?
What if it's that most men don't actually know who they are?
In this episode of The Super Human Life, Frank Rich sits down with Tim Couet, author of Identity Assignment, to unpack why so many men are winning externally while still feeling lost internally.
Tim believes two issues sit underneath much of the chaos men experience today: Identity and priorities.
Rather than building your identity around career, money, status, performance, or achievement, Tim argues that a man's identity has already been assigned by God.
Using Genesis 2:15 as the foundation, Tim explains why the biblical assignment of man can be summarized in two words: Serve. Protect.
From there, Frank and Tim explore what happens when a man begins living from that identity—and what happens when his priorities fall out of alignment.
They discuss marriage, fatherhood, work, lust, pornography, achievement, the modern church, the loss of initiation into manhood, and why the thing many men are ultimately chasing may not actually be more success.
It may be peace.
