MTP 66: Roundtable Discussion, How to Recenter Your Identity on Jesus Instead of Work, Part 1
Episode 66
In this unique roundtable format of Meet The Prof, we gather over a dozen Christian professors from campuses across the country to discuss a timely and personal question: how do we avoid getting our identity from our work instead of Christ? Inspired by a powerful clip from Sara Myers, the episode explores real struggles, vulnerable stories, and practical steps professors are taking to keep Jesus at the center.
Main Takeaways
- Professors often derive their sense of worth from their productivity or professional status, but this can lead to burnout and discouragement.
- A Christ-centered identity offers greater peace, purpose, and emotional resilience.
- Vulnerable stories from professors show how course evaluations, promotions, and academic rejection can influence mood and self-worth.
- Professors need to intentionally create boundaries and reframe their roles as part of God's story.
- Regular community and reminders help Christian professors stay grounded in their faith.
