Are You Really “In Christ”… or Just in Your Career, Marriage, or Ministry? (Video)

Are You Really In Christ

Most of us say our identity is “in Christ,” but our real god is often our spouse, our job, our kids, our ministry, or even our pain. In this candid conversation, J. Warner Wallace shares how, even as a Christian and apologist, he discovered that his deepest devotion had quietly shifted from Jesus to his marriage—and why ANY time we build our identity on good but “shiftable” things (relationships, success, health, platform, trauma), we’re setting ourselves up for future collapse. He explains why everything God gives us for our good can become a counterfeit god when it moves into first place, and how to recognize what’s really sitting on the throne of your heart.

For more information about how to flourish based on secular research and the ancient wisdom of the bible, please read The Truth in True Crime; What Investigating Death Teaches Us About the Meaning of Life. This book teaches readers 15 rues for life, recognized in murder investigations. It also makes a case for the reliability of the Bible from Biblical anthropology. The book is accompanied by a sixteen-session Truth in True Crime Video Series (and Participant’s Guide) to help individuals or small groups examine the evidence and make the case.
