Enough About Me!
Jen Oshman
“Who am I? What is my purpose? I thought I could have it all and I do. But I am restless, I feel like I’m missing something.”
Statistics show many American women are weary, struggle with depression, and self-medicate with alcohol, flattery, and more. Suicide rates for women are on the rise. What’s happening? More importantly, what’s the resolution?
In this conversation, Jen Oshman, author of Enough About Me and Help & Hope host Sharon Betters talk about the problem, the diagnosis, and the treatment for this low-grade anxiety that often disrupts our thinking, whether in joyful or sorrowful seasons.
In her book, Jen says, “We 21st century women have been running on ourselves, rather than on our God. We've been running on self-help, self-empowerment, and self-actualization. The fuel of self has run out, and that's why we're tired, discouraged, and even in crisis. Enough about me. And enough about you. If we want to keep running, we need to run on the fuel we're made for - God himself. We will indeed be restless until then.” (Enough About Me, Find Lasting Joy in the Age of Self, Jen Oshman, Page 48)
Friends, join Jen and Sharon as they talk frankly about the reasons for the restlessness and dissatisfaction in a culture that demands we “do it all” and how do we find our way back to God’s purpose for each of us.
