Performance Identity–The Folly of Striving to Earn God’s Favor

By John Ashley Null

The Rev. Canon Dr. John Ashley Null is an internationally respected scholar and Olympic chaplain. As a captivating and clear storyteller, this audiobook is based on spiritual guidance he imparts to elite athletes and coaches. With the performance mentality true of many vocations, he asks the profound question of whether “personhood” is a project you do or is it a gift? Is your personal identity dependent on your continuing good performance? Will God be more pleased with you if you perform well? Or, instead, is your personal identity grounded in God’s unconditional love and grace?
