Unqualified - Life is Like an Onion, Pt 3 - 184

Connecting The Gap: Bible, Book Studies, and Interviews

Let us know how this Episode helped you here!

Have you ever felt like your true self is hidden beneath layers of past experiences and societal expectations? Like an onion, we can peel off one layer and find many more. Some of those layers are hard to navigate through as we try to deal with this thing we call life.
This week on Connecting the Gap, we unpack the explanation of this from none other than the renown philosopher Shrek, as he explains about human complexity, revealing how our protective facades often conceal our genuine emotions and vulnerabilities. By peeling back these layers, we can better understand the internal conflicts that shape us and lead us toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.
Our discussion will take us into the biblical perspective of human creation and our nature of being "fearfully and wonderfully made." We discuss the fine line between self-improvement and self-acceptance, drawing a poignant parallel to Cecilia Gimenez's well-intentioned restoration of the Ecce Homo Fresco. This serves as a reminder that our complexity and value are part of God's grand design, urging us to trust in His patient process of restoration rather than rushing to fix what might not be broken.
