Breaking Free of the False Self

We all put on masks. But the greater the difference between our masks and our real selves, the greater our struggles become. This episode is all about how to resolve that tension. How do we relieve the tension and stress of constantly hiding ourselves away and pretending to have it all together? 

We believe that lasting life can happen for your good and for God's glory.
