The Redeemed Man
The Redeemed Man
Purpose-Based Identity > Performance-Based Identity
Luke Parker is a college athlete, a reality show contestant, and a modern man who, like many of us, has faced difficulties and temptations in life. However, he has found the security of God's love and the knowledge that he is not alone in his struggles to be a source of strength. Luke, a competitive CrossFit athlete, describes himself and others as "fellow beggars" searching for bread. In this week's episode, Luke talks to Nate about his challenges, some of which he acknowledges were self-inflicted. He also shares how honest and open relationships with God and other men have helped him stay on a positive path.
