In the eighth episode of the "Who Am I?" series, we confront the fear many of us have: What if it doesn't seem that what I am doing impacts the world at all? How do I know God didn't forget to gift me with some special gift to change the world? How can I be sure I matter to God? Amber mentions the book, "Gifted for More" by Dr. Bruce Becker.

In the third episode of our "Who Am I?" series, we'll look at achievements. It can be tempting to base our identity on our achievements, or lack thereof.

Are you prone to thinking things like, "You are so stupid" or, "You don't matter"? What do the people around you say about how you live?
