In this episode, Dr. O and Matt talk about how the fear of man is like setting a trap and then walking into it. Instead of thinking about how other people perceive you, think about how God sees you. This frees people to no longer be bound by the opinions and thoughts of others but to live a life that pleases God.

In this episode, Dr. O and Matt push back against that notion and want to encourage people to think carefully about what defines them. Through Christ, the baggage of our diagnoses, the hardships of our past, and the difficulties of our lives no longer hold a tight grip on us. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus frees us to hold only one title, "child of the most high God."
