Week 6- Response to Jason’s Blog

In response to Jason’s blog on Cobb, I would agree wholeheartedly with his thoughts on how we must seek out our identity from God and not from culture. We are indeed created to reflect the image of God (whatever that may mean to us), not the image of the world around us. But instead of looking at God to see who we are, we look at the culture around us. As Cobb said, this is especially true of adolescents.  Have we as adults released this need for the culture to define us? Or, have we, like Cobb said, been set off into a world without the usual scripts of stability (religion, family, etc…) and thus are seeking some way to know ourselves and to be known?
