EP 24 | Thinking Through: What Happens When Diagnosis Becomes Identity

Everywhere you look, someone has a label: my anxiety, my ADHD, my trauma. But what happens when those labels start to define us?

In this Thinking Through episode, Jonathan Kindler takes a closer look at the modern pull toward self-diagnosis and mental-health identity. From viral therapy trends to personality quizzes and clinical buzzwords, he explores why naming our struggles feels validating—and why it can quietly become the story we live by.

Blending humor, cultural insight, and Scripture, Jonathan unpacks how labels can help us understand our pain without becoming our name. He points to a gospel identity that doesn’t shift with our symptoms—and offers the one thing every label can’t: permanence.

This episode invites you to rethink the way you see yourself—and to find freedom in a name that doesn’t change with your diagnosis
