The Me I Was Made To Be with Christie Penner Worden

Jesus Collective Podcast

In this episode of The Jesus Collective Podcast, we sit down with Christie Penner Worden, author of The Me I Was Made to Be: Helping Christian Parents Navigate the Identity Conversation. Christie dives deep into the heart of her new book, exploring how today’s kids and youth are grappling with identity in ways that often differ from the adults in their lives.

Together, we discuss how parents and church leaders can walk alongside young people as they navigate questions of who they are and how they fit into God’s family. Christie emphasizes the importance of telling a more Jesus-centered, gospel-rooted story that invites kids into the conversation rather than leaving them out.

This episode offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking to love, guide, and understand the next generation as they learn who they are and who they are in Christ. Tune in for a thoughtful, heartfelt discussion on how we can better engage in these crucial conversations and help kids feel safe, seen, and valued within the family of God.
