There are few more foundational issues with which every person must wrestle than those of personal identity. Who am I? Why am I here? Do I matter at all? This week, Josiah logs-on with his friend, Sten-Erik Armitage, seminary professor and senior pastor, to discuss how a Christian, because of their relationship to God in Christ Jesus, can—and should—answer such questions and how this reality changes everything.

Dr. Armitage is the Senior Pastor of Redeemer Bible Church in Dallas, Texas. With a passion for helping others to think Christianly about their faith, ministry, and daily lives, Sten-Erik also serves as Advisor for Spiritual Formation and Adjunct Professor of Educational Ministries and Leadership at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is married to Lisa and they have three daughters.
Josiah has served the Oakridge Bible Chapel family as one of its elders and one of its pastoral staff members since September 2018, before which he ministered as an associate pastor to a local congregation in the Canadian prairies. Josiah's desire is to be used by God to help equip the church for ministry, both while gathered (edification) and while scattered (evangelization). He is married to Patricia, and together they have five children—Jonah, Henry, Nathaniel, Josephine, and Benjamin.
