Episode 239: How to Form a Gospel-Identity in the Next Gen | Jonathan Holmes

Hole In My Heart Podcast

Friday, March 28, 2025 - 39 minutes

It’s so easy to identify as “I am what I do” or “I am how I feel.”

The next generations especially seem to feel this pull.

How can we help Gen Z and Alpha understand who they are in Christ? How can we start with our own identity so we speak from a place of firm-footing instead of hypocrisy? Author and therapist Jonathan Holmes is here to help lead us.

| Highlights |

  • “A gospel identity is one that is received and not achieved.” —Jonathan Holmes
  • “All of us parents can struggle with wanting to make our kids into our image, rather than helping them fulfill and live into their image-bearing capacity.”
  • “God’s first words about sexuality are ones of invitation not prohibition.” —Jonathan Holmes
