To protect and provide is a beautiful energy that can be used for so much good in our world, regardless of gender. However, in the presence of worthiness wounds, these values can quickly turn toxic, and I show you how in this episode.
How often do you catch yourself thinking, “If only I could be…?” Fill in the blank. Whether it’s getting married, having a baby, buying a house, moving up the career ladder, or making more money, what are the accomplishments you believe will make you feel more worthy?
Do you feel lost in your struggle to overcome a lifelong addiction to porn? You're not alone. My guest this week, Steve, had been stuck in this habit since he was 12 years old, and it wasn't something that he felt he could talk to anyone about. Steve went through Bible school, started a family, and went into ministry, all the while hiding his struggle.
As humans, it's common for us to derive our sense of worth from our productivity. This is especially true if you live in Western culture, where there is a heavy emphasis on achievement. We receive messages from church, social media, school, and our families that tie our value directly to our accomplishments.
