Exposing the Lies We Live By: Finding Identity Beyond Advertising
Every day, we are bombarded with thousands of messages promising happiness, comfort, or even identity if only we buy the right product. But beneath the noise of advertising lies a deeper reality: we are already loved, already chosen, already whole in Christ. In this episode, Gem Fadling shines a light on how consumer slogans shape our sense of self and offers a way back to the truth of God’s word.
This conversation explores the difference between the “false self” and the “true self,” and invites us to embrace the pace of grace rather than the rush of consumption.
Listen in to learn:
- How advertising shapes our view of identity and worth
- The difference between the “imposter self” and the “true self”
- How scripture re-anchors us in God’s love and presence
