Who Are You, Really?
The Three Stats That Fully Define You
Glorious Day My Precious Fellow Traveler -
I love writing these posts. But they require a great deal of time and toil because God demands and deserves my best effort.
My prayer for 2026 is that I’ll be able to stop doing other, less fulfilling things and instead support this burgeoning Substack ministry fulltime. That’ll be possible only with the support of Paid Subscribers. But I’m surrendering the entire matter to God.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to my Paid Subscribers from 48 states and 35 nations for supporting my ministry, which is committed to speaking truth with love … to a world sorely in need of both.
To God alone be the glory!
Happy New Year!!!
Amen.
Who Are You, Really?
If a person asks, “Who are you?” what’s your most likely reply?
Would you give them your name? (“I’m Dr. Michael Guillén.”) If so, you’re telling them next to nothing about yourself.
Would you give them your occupation? (“I’m a scientist, reporter, writer, speaker, and movie producer.”) If so, again, you’re not revealing anything meaningful about yourself.
Would you give them your sex, eye & hair color, weight, and height? (“I am a male with brown eyes & brown hair, who weighs about 170 pounds and is 6 feet 2 inches tall.”) If so, you’re giving the person merely a superficial description of yourself and nothing more.
Who are you, really?
What makes you tick?
What determines how you see, think about, and behave toward yourself, others, and the whole of reality?
In short, what’s your worldview?
Answer that one question and you fully define yourself because your worldview is the colored filter through which you perceive everything. It’s who you are, through and through.
To get started answering the all-important question, “Who are you, really?” I invite you to picture your worldview as a bubble. That’s right, a bubble.
Your worldview is your bubble of reality, which is completely defined by just three parameters: (A) foundation, (B) size, and (C) center.
Foundation
Your worldview rests on a foundation of convictions that mostly can’t be proved, but that you believe wholeheartedly. To you, they’re axiomatic.
