Episode 10 - Finding Significance through God

In this episode, Angela and Jeff discuss one of the two personal needs for our sense of self-worth. Our need for significance. People need their lives to have purpose, meaning, impact, and importance. They discuss how wrong beliefs influence our basic assumptions which lead to misguided goals that will not meet the need for significance. Failing to achieve these misguided goals have a negative impact on our self-worth and cause anxiety and depression. Jeff and Angela share how the need for significance can only be met through God. That everyone has been perfectly created to meet their God given purpose for their life. They remind people how they can remain centered in God and allow Him to meet their need for significance.
