Dr. Carl Trueman: What is Expressive Individualism?

In this segment with moderator Pastor Derek Buikema, Dr. Carl Trueman addresses the question of expressive individualism. Trueman delves into the topic of expressive individualism, which believes that one’s true, core identity is determined by one’s feelings and desires. In an extreme case, this is expressed in transgenderism.

While Trueman acknowledges that feelings and emotions are core to what it means to be human, Christians need to understand that one’s identity does not come from those feelings and emotions. True identity is determined by God.
