Why Identity Matters | FOUND Video Series Episode 1
What defines you? Is it your achievements, relationships, failures—or something deeper? In this powerful opening session, Lorie Hartshorn shares personal stories of heartbreak, insecurity, and awakening to a deeper truth: identity shapes everything. From the panic of losing her young son in a store to the pain of feeling she didn’t measure up, Lorie opens up about her own identity crisis and how it led her to look into the only mirror that tells the truth—Jesus. You’ll explore the foundational truth that your identity is not something you earn, but something you’ve been given—by the God who made you in His image. This is where the journey begins: discovering why identity matters and how to find yours in Christ. Key Themes: ►Our Identity CrisisMany of us define ourselves by performance, roles, or appearance—and feel lost when those things fail or change.►The Deep Longing to Know We MatterEvery human heart desires to know they are valuable, seen, and loved.►We Were Made in God’s ImageOur true identity begins with understanding we were created by God to reflect His character and love.►Jesus is the Mirror of Our True IdentityWhen we look to Jesus, we discover who we really are and find freedom, purpose, and peace.Download your PDF Reflection Guide to go deeper in study. https://loriehartshorn.com/store/p/reflection-guide🔗 Connect with Lorie Hartshorn:https://loriehartshorn.com/https://www.instagram.com/loriehartshorn/https://www.facebook.com/loriesharthttps://www.youtube.com/@loriehartshornLoriesHart Production Team:Video/Audio/Editing - Cameron Linhttps://www.cameronl.in/Design - Katrina Roberthttps://www.katrinarobert.com/Social Media - Zi + Liling Wong
