Join us for a conversation with Ian, who has grappled with identity, faith, and approval-seeking. Ian shares his journey from childhood confidence in church to adolescent struggles with rejection, bullying, guilt, and addiction. He discusses the turning points, including rediscovering faith and embracing his true identity in God. In the latter part, he breaks free from the need for approval, finding freedom and truth in his life. Ian's story is a testament to the power of the gospel.  Join us for his inspiring journey. view more resources on our website 0:00 - From Religion to Freedom 5:29 - Early Life and Struggles With Shame 14:18 - Struggles With Sexuality and Addiction 19:25 - Impact of Pornography, Finding New Vision 22:57 - Transformation and Pursuit of Purpose 29:31 - Struggles With Identity and Burnout 42:44 - Struggles in Relationships and Ministry 48:33 - Struggles With Burnout and Identity 1:03:07 - Belief and Invitations to Winter Camp 1:10:22 - Freedom and Identity Through Connection and Listening 1:20:17 - Embracing God's Unconditional Love and Rest Hey DTL friends!
