    Finding Your Identity in Christ with Jude D’Agostino

    What if your worth has nothing to do with what you accomplish? In this episode of Yes Catholic, David sits down with Jude D’Agostino, Catholic content creator behind Lifting the Cross, to talk about anxiety, self-worth, healing, prayer, and discovering how God truly sees us. Jude shares his journey from being a cradle Catholic to struggling with anxiety and placing his identity in basketball and achievement. After reaching a difficult point in high school, he began asking a deeper question: “How does God see me?” That question ultimately led him closer to Christ through the FOCUS missionaries at West Chester University, where intentional friendship, discipleship, Bible study, and prayer transformed his relationship with God. Jude also shares practical advice for anyone who wants to grow closer to Christ, including the importance of silence, daily formation, and the sacraments. He explains why simply spending time in silence with God can transform our hearts in ways we often miss because of the noise around us. The central message of Jude’s story is simple but profound: You are not worth what you do. You are a beloved child of God.
