Episode Details

We all feel the pressure to look inside, even to the point of inventing our own identity. But while every song says "be yourself," deep down we're left wanting. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller exposes "expressive individualism" as a lie. Discover why building our lives on our own self is sinking sand, in the words of Jesus.

This is part two of the sermon, "Built For Life."
