Liam Payne’s death reminded me of how we all need to find our identity in Christ

‘God never intended for our roles in life or our circumstances to become our identity,’ says Danielle Finch, as she reflects on Liam Payne’s death, and her own life as a disabled mother.

The news of Liam Payne’s death deeply saddened me. What a tragic end to a young life with so much potential. Of course, no one knows the exact circumstances surrounding his death and I have no desire to speculate. But over the last few weeks, articles have been emerging sharing the very open struggles he had as he rose to fame with One Direction and as all of it disappeared when the band split.

Now I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly not pop star material so those particular challenges are far removed from me. Yet a lot of Liam’s struggles seem to boil down to a question that the human race universally grapples with; “Who am I?”
