The Truth About Chasing Dreams and Waiting (Ft. Demi-Leigh Tebow)
About this episode
We spend a lot of time thinking “If I can just get this promotion, win this award, or cure this health issue, then things will be better, happier, or fulfilled.”
But what happens when the achievement we worked for becomes our identity and then ultimately falls away or disappoints?
Or if that dream is delayed or isn't fulfilled at all?
How can we begin to untangle our identity from our achievements and circumstances?
How can we see our platform or skills as a vessel for purpose instead of being our purpose?
In this episode, Jordan talks with Demi Tebow about identity, purpose, perfectionism, and finding purpose amid uncertain seasons.
Tune in to learn:
- The danger of tying personal identity to accomplishments and how to untangle your identity from your labels
- How to stay rooted in your eternal purpose and use your skills as a platform for the Gospel
- The difference between excellence and perfectionism
- What it looks like to pursue presence over perfection
- How to trust God and move forward when we find ourselves in a season of uncertainty
- What it means to "be interruptible"
