Detaching from Image and Expectations

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott

“What are we gripping in our hands that may simply be worth a penny in comparison to the abundant life God offers us." - Steve Macchia   

How do we release the things that make for false self identity? In this episode, Steve and Matt tackle this question as they invite you to “slow down and be more detached.”  

Henri Nouwen talked about the false self gripping to 1) what we do (our work) 2) what we have (our possessions) 3) what others say about us (our image). This conversation looks at practical ways to detach from these things that we build a false sense of self around. Looking at the encouragement from Jesus found in Luke 9:23-26, Steve and Matt talk about denying ourselves in order to receive the fullness of the abundant life in God.
