What happens when the very thing you thought defined you is suddenly gone? In this episode, Lorie shares her personal story of losing her singing voice and the deep identity crisis that followed. Through heartbreak, questions, and a search for meaning, she invites us to reflect on our own identity: Who are we without our talents, titles, or accomplishments?

Discover the truth of who you really are—loved, chosen, and adopted by God. Everything that was lost in the garden is found in Jesus.

Key themes:

►Identity crisis through loss: What happens when your purpose or passion is stripped away?

►God’s love beyond performance: You are not what you do—your worth isn’t tied to your talents or success.

►Adoption into God’s family: We are chosen, wanted, and fully accepted as His children.

►Restoring what was lost: Jesus came to restore everything lost in the garden—our relationship, identity, and purpose.

In this powerful session, we explore what it means to lose your identity—and how to find it again. Through the moving story of Cyndi and Mark Wilkins, who faced unimaginable trauma when Cyndi lost her hands and feet to a flesh-eating disease, we discover the truth about where our value and worth truly come from. Just like looking into a distorted mirror, life’s hardships and lies can shatter how we see ourselves. But God's Word offers a perfect reflection of who we really are.

Rooted in Genesis and Psalm 139, this teaching unpacks how humanity lost its identity in the Garden of Eden and how Jesus came to restore it. Whether you’re battling self-doubt, performance pressure, or spiritual fatigue, this session invites you to stop looking into broken mirrors—and instead, see yourself through the eyes of your Creator.

Key Themes:

►True identity and worth come from being made in the image of God

►How trauma, lies, and culture distort our self-image

► The spiritual battle for our identity

►How Jesus restores what was lost

What defines you? Is it your achievements, relationships, failures—or something deeper? In this powerful opening session, Lorie Hartshorn shares personal stories of heartbreak, insecurity, and awakening to a deeper truth: identity shapes everything. From the panic of losing her young son in a store to the pain of feeling she didn’t measure up, Lorie opens up about her own identity crisis and how it led her to look into the only mirror that tells the truth—Jesus. You’ll explore the foundational truth that your identity is not something you earn, but something you’ve been given—by the God who made you in His image. This is where the journey begins: discovering why identity matters and how to find yours in Christ.

Key Themes:

►Our Identity Crisis

Many of us define ourselves by performance, roles, or appearance—and feel lost when those things fail or change.

►The Deep Longing to Know We Matter

Every human heart desires to know they are valuable, seen, and loved.

►We Were Made in God’s Image

Our true identity begins with understanding we were created by God to reflect His character and love.

►Jesus is the Mirror of Our True Identity

When we look to Jesus, we discover who we really are and find freedom, purpose, and peace.
