Why “Be True to Yourself” Is Crushing You

October 21, 2026

Summary

From every direction we’re told to look inward and just be ourselves. But a self we build from scratch buckles under the weight we put on it. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller contrasts two failed ways to find identity. Discover why “just be yourself” turns out to be one of the heaviest burdens of all.

This is part two of the sermon, “Living as a Child of God.”
