This week on the podcast, we’re talking about selfhood. Many of us have been taught that "self" is bad. But there’s a big difference between selfhood and selfishness. Furthermore being selfless is not always the right choice.
Reclaiming a healthy sense of self is not opposed to faith. In fact, learning to honor yourself goes hand-in-hand with honoring the One who made you.
I get personal this week, because this journey is deeply personal for me. We discuss:
1. My own story of loving God but not having a self
2. What is the difference between selfhood and selfishness?
3. Why is selfhood key to healthy relationships?
4. How selfhood is the missing first step to setting healthy boundaries
5. What does the bible have to say about selfhood?
6. Jesus’s example of selfhood
