398: Steubenville SOUTH | Finding Your Identity in Christ with Tim Jara
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when your identity is stripped away? For speaker and youth minister Tim Jara, that question became the doorway to encountering Jesus in a life-changing way.
After an injury ended his gymnastics career, Tim found himself searching for purpose and belonging. What began as a Confirmation retreat became the moment Christ transformed his life through Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, and the simple hospitality of youth ministers who saw him, welcomed him, and reminded him that he was loved.
In this episode:
- Tim's powerful conversion story through a Confirmation retreat
- Finding identity after losing the thing that defined you
- Why every teen needs to know they are seen and loved
- Parenting, ministry, and keeping Christ at the center
- Social media, authentic community, and helping young people flourish
Whether you're a parent, youth minister, or simply someone longing to remember your first love for Christ, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that our true identity is found in being sons and daughters of God.
