In 2009, Tim Keller told his congregation in New York City, “We want to feel beautiful. We want to feel loved. We want to feel significant. And that’s why we’re working so hard.” And those people “had lived their whole lives with parents, music teachers, coaches, professors, and bosses telling them to do better, be better, try harder.” In America (like ancient Rome), we applaud and celebrate the achievers, the rich, and the beautiful. Is it any wonder so many people labor to obtain:
• Enough success
• Enough popularity
• Enough stuff
To convince themselves and everyone else that THEY ARE SOMEBODY. In this message, Max Vanderpool teaches on identity and how to get free from the American ideals of success, popularity, and wealth.
