Sadie Robertson Huff Points Gen Z to Christ in Inspiring Sermon
By Movieguide® Contributor
Sadie Robertson Huff is encouraging young people to find themselves in Christ so that they can glorify God and find their purpose.
“I want to remind you of who you are tonight. I want to talk about identity, which should be a great conversation, right?” the former DUCK DYNASTY star said while appearing at Passion 2022.
“As a culture, we love to talk about identity. We’re obsessed with our identity,” she continued. “We love to talk about who we are. But also, it’s kind of strange because although we are obsessed with talking about who we are, nobody likes to actually be hit with the question, ‘Who are you?”
Huff spoke of the uncertainties many young people face when trying to figure out their place and purpose in the world and how easy it can be to identify yourself with many different people and things instead of finding yourself in God.
She also talked about an Instagram post she made a few weeks ago. Huff asked her followers what they identified themselves with. One group responded with things like “my looks” or “my sexuality.”
The second group, however, said confidently that they are who God says they are.
“That’s awesome that you know the answer to that question,” Huff said. “Has that actually changed who you are? Has who He says that you are actually changed the nature of who you are? Because we can say it all day long and we can even say it with confidence, but that doesn’t mean we’re a confident person.”
Huff shared her own past insecurities, even though she always knew how God saw her.
“What He said about me didn’t actually change me,” she said. “Friends, you can know everything He says about you, but what ultimately matters is who He is to you. … If He’s not on the throne of your life, then what He says about you isn’t actually going to change who you are.”
Huff talked about how hard it can be to find your identity, and that many Christians look to things like society or personality tests to tell them who they are. Although she said she appreciated personality tests and enjoys taking them, none of them can tell her more about who she is than God.
“Because what happens is, when I say that those things are what I identify with,” Huff said. “It excuses me to not have to be what I’m called to be.”
“We want to be our own version of truth,” she continued. “We want to be loved. We want to be powerful. We want to get control over our life. And we’re trying to take on all these attributes of God. What we’re not considering is trying to carry the weight of who God is. You also have to consider that you’ve got to carry the weight of your sin.”
“We have to find that in who God is, who He created us to be, based off the nature of who He is,” Huff said, encouraging those listening to her to have faith in God’s plan for them. “If you believe that that is who your God is, you will not be confused by who you are, because He’s not confused by who He is, and He is not confused on the purpose of your life.”
