About
the Book

Things have changed.
Have you seen it?

The way that we've done things for centuries has been unsettled and unseated. We're living in a new normal. And while on the surface many of these changes look like the next best thing, there's actually a complex and fragile web of lies holding it all together:

  • You are what you do
  • You are what you experience
  • You are who you know
  • You are what you know
  • You are what you own
  • You are who you raise
  • You are your past

In You Are What You Do, author and pastor Daniel Im considers these seven lies and the context that causes them to flourish. Through personable stories, research, and pastoral insight, Daniel will show you how to recognize these everyday lies in your life, so that you can discover the truth on the other side. The truth that leads to freedom. The truth that moves you from surviving to thriving. The truth that will unlock a life of purpose, adventure, meaning, and destiny.

Underneath the surface,
children who grow up

With prideful parents that believe this lie will never feel accepted just as they are.

Other people do not satisfy.

they cannot satisfy the longing that drive us to them. In fact, even a spouse can’t ultimately satisfy that deeper longing we all have to know and be known. you are not who you know.
