The Fight to Find Yourself: Moving from Uncertain to Unstoppable

Do you ever feel like you’re pretending? Do you ever feel like the ＂real you＂ is concealed by the disguise you wear every day? Do you even know who the real you is?

Many of us feel confused about who we are and what God created us to be. We go through the motions, doing what’s expected of us, but we feel lost, empty, or just a deep-down sense that there must be more out there for us. We have never taken the time to--or been allowed to--find out who we are at our core. Often, it’s not easy to understand who you are at your core. Sometimes, you have to fight for it.

In The Fight to Find Yourself, Pastor Joel Tudman pairs biblical content, practical teaching, and deeply personal stories to help guide readers struggling with grief, confusion, or feeling lost, to move forward into hope, joy, and a better future. He helps readers:

• Uncover and face the deeply-held beliefs that have defined you so far
• Confront their deepest disappointments and desires and use those to orient their future
• Root out false ideas about what you can do, become, and be
• Walk through transitions with confidence and boldness
• Find mentors to guide and walk with you through this process
• Understand the calling God has placed on their lives
• Believe that their value lies in who they are, now what they do

When you truly know who God made you to be, you will be able to know yourself, accept yourself, feel like you, and walk out into the world with your head held high, knowing you are a beloved child of God, already loved, already good enough. This is a powerful and inspiring manifesto to help readers move from being lost, feeling guilty, confused about their callings, or wrestling with grief, to moving forward into healing, health, and happiness in their lives.
