Narcissism is a real problem in both politics and the church.  Both places are suppose to serve people, but too often they look to BE served.   Here are the 9 traits of a narcissist according to the DSM Grandiose sense of self-importance Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love The belief they are special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions Need for excessive admiration Sense of entitlement Interpersonally exploitative behaviour Lack of empathy Envy of others or a belief that others are envious of them Demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviours or attitudes   Here is Rhoda's list of 10 things she has seen in Narcissistic pastors: Centers all decision making on themselves Impatient/Can’t listen to others Delegates without giving proper authority/micromanaging Entitlement Threatened by talented staff Needing to be the best and brightest in the room Inconsistency and impulsiveness Praising and withdrawing Intimidating others Fake vulnerability    Please email us at excommunicatespodcast@gmail.com Follow us on Instagram @excommunicates_podcast
