Summary

🧭 Episode Summary Who were you
 before you were told who to be? For many of us—especially those shaped by religious systems—identity isn’t something we discovered. It’s something we inherited. Beliefs. Roles. Expectations. All layered over time until the line between who we are and who we were told to be becomes hard to see. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, we sit down with Cristy S. Carr to explore the core ideas behind her book The Forgotten Self —and what it means to lose connection with ourselves in the pursuit of certainty, belonging, and faithfulness. This episode is less about what we believe
 and more about who we’ve become in the process of believing. 📚 About the Guest Cristy S. Carr is an author, theologian, and speaker whose work focuses on identity, spirituality, and the process of reconnecting with the self. Her book The Forgotten Self explores how we lose touch with who we are—and how we begin to find our way back.
