The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast
Balancing the Capitalist Self with Relationships
Focusing solely on the capitalist self leads to chaos, as we cannot exist as a capitalist self alone. The Internal Family Systems therapy model, while effective, emphasizes a regulating 'capital S self.' However, the speaker believes that the love for God and others, as addressed in the greatest command by Jesus, should also be central. The 'self' aspect, previously sidelined by religious institutions, is essential but should not overshadow the relationships with God and others. Overemphasis on the self, to the exclusion of these relationships, is not conducive to human flourishing. The speaker advocates for a balance where the self is in a healthy relationship with both God and others, suggesting this as an invitation for believers.
