Ep 1237 | Let Them? The Good, the Bad & the Buddhist
Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
The Illusion of Self-Love: Critique of the 'Let Them' Philosophy
This chapter critiques the contemporary self-help narrative around self-love, arguing that relying solely on oneself for happiness can lead to disappointment. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing relationships and responsibilities over a simplistic view of self-empowerment.
Today we unpack the "Let Them theory," a secular mantra rooted in Buddhism that glorifies self-love over Christ’s transformative power. We expose its half-truths and contrast it with the gospel’s call to surrender to God for true peace. Plus, we say goodbye to producer Bri as she transitions to a new career calling. Tune in to embrace biblical wisdom over fleeting cultural fads.
