Identity: Your Worth, Classical Musician, Doesn't Have to Be In Question | Ep. 27
Manage episode 511281565 series 3637617
In today’s culture, we are told that we decide who we are, we choose what things define us, we decide what gives us worth and significance. We live our lives consumed in the quest for identity and worth, especially as classical musicians. That quest, however, is a never ending slippery slope that will end up sliding you down to ruin. But God. God, in His love and grace, created mankind in His image, and for those in Christ, we are adopted into His family as sons and daughters. You can find freedom from searching for worth in your performances, your chair in orchestra, or people's opinions of you. Listen to today's episode to find out how!
