In a world obsessed with self-expression and reinvention, what does it truly mean to become the “real me”?

In this powerful message from Psalm 139, Pastor Chris Schansberg confronts the culture’s conflicting messages—“be yourself” vs. “reinvent yourself”—with the timeless truth of Scripture: you were handcrafted by God, formed with purpose, and called to grow in Christ.

Drawing from stories like Hagar’s encounter with God and Jesus' words in Matthew 16, this sermon reminds us that the path to finding our truest identity is not through self-invention, but surrender. With humor, clarity, and depth, Pastor Chris explores three bold truths:

You’re not mass produced — God uniquely designed you.

Becoming was always the plan — Growth is not failure; it’s God’s process.

You’re not guessing—you’re guided — God’s voice defines your worth and your future.

This message is a heartfelt call to stop chasing identity in culture and start becoming who God always saw. Whether you’re a lifelong believer or just exploring faith, you’ll walk away encouraged, grounded, and empowered to walk in God’s design for your life.

💬 “The real me isn’t found by self-invention but by trusting the One who made me.”
