Ep 20 | The Myth of Self-Love

BLAZE PODCAST NETWORK
About this episode

"You can't love others until you love yourself." "Just pursue what makes you happy." These are the ubiquitous mantras of our day, encouraging us to ditch the "bad vibes" and do whatever makes us feel good about ourselves and our lives. The problem is that's not biblical. I'll explain why self-love isn't Christlike and how Christians, according to the Bible, are supposed to view ourselves.
