"That's When It Clicked!" - Carl's Story

How do you feel when you look in the mirror and see features that seem less-than-ideal? How do you respond when someone else makes a derogatory comment about your appearance? What does your mind conclude when you find your physical abilities limited in some way? For many people, their physical appearance and capabilities comprise a large part of their identity. If one’s identity falls under scrutiny, their perceived disadvantage motivates them toward choices that are often unhealthy and even destructive. Such was the case for Carl who, after feeling ostracized as a boy, was driven to compensate for his perceived lack. But because the source of Carl’s problem was not understood or dealt with, his life remained open for wrong influences and substances to enter in, producing addiction, marital tension, and incarceration. Only after realizing the root of his problem was Carl able to find peace from the struggle he had faced since his youth.
In this combined testimony and whiteboard teaching video, we learn how to look past the surface issues that often distract us, and discover the root problem beneath the struggle with self-rejection. We hope you are encouraged as you hear how Carl stopped trying to derive worth from his abilities and discovered his genuine value in the kingdom of God.
