Can we be honest, even if it stings a little bit? Our culture has an identity crisis, doesn’t it? We don’t know WHO we are. And when we’re asked who we are, all we can think to do is provide a list of all the things we DO. Our identities have become wrapped up in fickle and fleeting actions and behaviors. You’ve seen this, right? Think about it for a moment. How often do skiers and snowboarders describe who they are by: 1) who they know, 2) what tricks they can do, 3) the places they’ve been, and 4) how many days they got on the hill? (Just to name a few). And while some of these things are pretty cool, they’re a shabby foundation to build your identity on. One moment they’re here, and the next moment...they’re gone. We need something far more stable. We need something lasting to base our identity on. And for us...that’s Jesus.
In this episode, on SFC’s “Identity” value, Joshua Stock speaks 3-time Olympic medalist (one gold), 14-time X-Games medalist (7 gold), and 2-time ESPY winner, Kelly Clark. If you grew up in and/or spent ANY time around the ski/snowboard industry, then you know the name Kelly Clark. Kelly grew up competing and is one of the winningest snowboarders of all time. Her list of accomplishments is nothing short of amazing. But even more amazing, in our opinion, is how she learned to not let snowboarding be her end-all-be-all. For Kelly, snowboarding was fun, but it wasn’t ultimate. So tune in. We know that you’re going to be blown away and challenged by Kelly’s story.
