Wrestling with Identity | Healing the Father Wound ft. Pastor Jeff Osborne | #LFLSEP15
In this powerful episode, Pastor Jeff T. Osborne joins PD and Mike to talk about healing deep wounds, building identity, and breaking free from the pain of the past. From the threat of a 16-to-life prison sentence to becoming an international speaker and identity coach, Pastor Jeff’s story is one of radical transformation and redemption. This episode digs deep into the wounds many carry from their fathers - how those experiences shape us, and how God desires to heal us.
With wisdom, vulnerability, and hope, Pastor Jeff shares how true identity isn’t found in performance or people-pleasing, but in who God says you are. Whether you're walking through your own healing journey or leading others, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
