Identity and Freedom

Many people feel lost in a swirl of identity confusion and chaos today, wondering who they are and where they fit in. In this panel discussion from Always Ready, Ligonier’s apologetics conference for middle and high school students, Eric Bancroft, Nathan W. Bingham, and Stephen Nichols address questions related to issues of gender and sexuality, where we can find a sense of being and belonging, and how to answer the question “Who am I?”

Questions:

  1. What does the Bible teach us about identity? (1:39)
  2. How can we address questions about identity, gender, and sexuality in our local churches? (3:49)
  3. How can people find freedom from a wrong view of identity and related sins? (7:34)
  4. How can we identify the idols in our lives that negatively shape our identity? (14:59)
  5. What would you say to a Christian who is asking why identity issues matter? (19:58)

Note: Answers given reflect the views of the individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dr. R.C. Sproul and Ligonier Ministries. Here is our Statement of Faith.
