I Lost the Thing I Thought Defined Me w/ Emmett Gerres

<p>Emmett Gerres, University of Minnesota track and field runner, joins the show to share how a difficult season of running and a battle with mono exposed how deeply his identity was tied to the sport. Through that season, Emmett came to know Jesus, discovering the freedom of finding his identity in Christ rather than his performance. He shares how he’s learned to trust God’s plan, pursue excellence as an act of worship, and use his platform to point his teammates to Jesus.</p><p>If this episode encouraged you, don’t keep it to yourself—share it with a teammate or someone who needs it.</p><p>📖 Get the True Identity Devotional:<a href="https://www.amazon.in/True-Identity-Athletes-Finding-Circumstances-ebook/dp/B0H9FDSL9D" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.amazon.in/True-Identity-Athletes-Finding-Circumstances-ebook/dp/B0H9FDSL9D</a></p><p>Stay connected: </p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/identitysports_official/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/identitysports_official/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@IdentitySports" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@IdentitySports⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@identitysports" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@identitysports⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>Check out <a href="https://www.identitysports.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.identitysports.com/%E2%81%A0" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.identitysports.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>for more information.</p><p>Follow Emmett on social media:</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/emmettgerres" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/emmettgerres</a></p><p>Have questions, topic ideas, or want to connect?
