Narcisme is misschien wel de meest intrigerende karaktereigenschap of stoornis die er is voor velen. Thijs en Lennard bespreken welke vormen van narcisme er zijn, wat het verschil is tussen 'normaal' narcisme en een narcistische persoonlijkheidsstoornis, hoe vaak het (bij je exen) voorkomt en wat je kunt doen als je het bij jezelf of een ander herkent.

She has been one of our go-to scholars on generational trends and has just released a 500-page book that traces generational changes from Silents (b. 1925-1945), Boomers, Xers, Millennials, Gen Z, and up to the newest generation emerging today (polars). Join Scott and Dr. Twenge as they discusses the research on Gen Z and what it means for pastors, parents, and others who care about understanding and mentoring the next generation.Jean M. Twenge, Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University, is the author of more than 180 scientific publications and 7 books, including iGen, GenerationMe, and The Narcissism Epidemic.

Whether you're a parent, a youth pastor, a teacher or a young person yourself, you've probably seen all of the headlines concerning Gen Z. Rates of depression and loneliness are surging, their relationship with technology is kind of troubling, and they are leaving the church in droves. We've talked about these trends a lot on the Holy Post, but we're not alone. Tenx10 is a new collaborative discipleship initiative whose mission is to make faith matter more for this younger generation. We've partnered with Tenx10 to create this series and to hear from experts in each episode about the challenges young people and those who care about them are facing. One of those experts is Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology at San Diego State University, and an author with an expertise in generational differences and technology. She's known for her books iGen, Generation Me, and The Narcissism Epidemic, and she's argued that smartphones were the most likely cause behind the sudden increase in mental health issues among teens after 2012. Skye sat down with Jean to find out if the kids are gonna be alright.  0:00 - Theme Song   0:18 - Intro   1:32 - Epidemic of Loneliness   11:41 - Solutions 32:51 - Tenx10 Info - Go to tenx10.org for resources on how to help the younger generation care more about faith   34:02 - Debrief with Kara Powell   48:48 - End Credits Links and Resources   Tenx10 - https://www.tenx10.org/   Generations by Jean Twenge - https://amzn.to/3FOwCXH Holy Post website: https://www.holypost.com/   Holy Post Plus: www.holypost.com/plus   Holy Post Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holypost   Holy Post Merch Store: https://www.holypost.com/shop The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“We are all revolutionaries now, addicts of change…. In our society, daily experience teaches the individual to want and need a never-ending supply of new toys and drugs…. The contemporary climate is therapeutic…. People today hunger…for the feeling, the momentary illusion, of personal well-being, health, and psychic security.”~Christopher Lasch (1932-1994), American historian and social critic “According to [Dr. Jean] Twenge [co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic and professor of psychology at San Diego State University] …rates of anxiety and depression have…risen in tandem with self-esteem. Why is this? … ‘People who feel like they're unusually special end up alienating those around them,' Twenge says. ‘They don't know how to work on teams as well or deal with limits…. They don't like being told by a boss that their work might need improvement, and they feel insecure if they don't get a constant stream of praise….'”~“How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” by Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly Much of the American Christianity has been overrun by the “prophets of self-fulfillment and gurus of self-love at the expense of the equally important teaching that every human soul is fatally corrupted by original sin. Absent the latter emphasis, religion becomes a license for egotism and selfishness, easily employed to justify what used to be consider deadly sins. The result is a society where pride becomes ‘healthy self-esteem,' vanity becomes ‘self-improvement,' adultery becomes ‘following your heart,' greed and gluttony become ‘living the American dream.'”~Ross Douthat in his book Bad Religion “Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain. Meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure.”~G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936), writer and literary critic “It is better to be hurt by the truth than to be comforted with a lie.”~Khaled Hosseini, Afghan-born novelist and physician “…the natural condition of the human ego: that it is empty, painful, busy and fragile.” “...the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less.”~Timothy Keller (1950-2023), The Freedom of Self ForgetfulnessSERMON PASSAGEJude Jude 1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: 2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” 10 But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever. 14 It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage. 17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19 It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. 24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Ephesians 4 11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Today we welcome Jean Twenge to the podcast. Jean is professor of psychology at San Diego State University. She frequently gives talks and seminars on generational differences and technology based on a dataset of 39 million people. Her audiences have included college faculty and staff, parent groups, military personnel, camp directors, and corporate executives. Her work has been repeatedly featured by the media. She has authored more than 180 scientific publications and books including iGen, Generation Me, and The Narcissism Epidemic. Her latest book is called Generations. In this episode, I talk to Jean Twenge about the real differences between the generations. Did you know that our current time has the most number of living generations to co-exist? Unfortunately, there is often conflict and miscommunication between them. According to Jean, this is largely due to how the advancement of tech has shaped major life experiences. She shares interesting statistics about each cohort and debunks common misconceptions about baby boomers, millennials, gen z, and others. We also touch on the topics of narcissism, polarization, mental health, gender identity, and compassion. Website: jeantwenge.comTwitter: @jean_twenge Topics01:38 The real differences between generations05:50 The silent generation09:08 Conflict between cohorts13:33 Narcissism in different generations21:09 Generation Z27:34 The income inequality between boomers and millennials30:42 Are we coddling students?36:38 The political trajectory of generations42:10 The Greatest Generation 43:49 Generation Alpha45:05 Uniting all generations

For more than 30 years, Jean Twenge has been studying how generational differences affect the workplace, family life, public policy, interpersonal relationships, and individual identity. Her research has been foundational in many of the current culture war discussions, including in Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff's seminal book The Coddling of the American Mind. Jean is the author of seven books, including Generation Me and iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy–and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood. Her new book is Generations: The Real Differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and Silents and What they Mean for America's Future. In this conversation, she talks with Meghan about what she's learned from working with a dataset of 39 million people born between 1925 and 2012. She dispels some of the most common myths about certain generations (for instance that millennials are broke) and talks about the concept of “fast” versus “slow” life strategies. She also talks about how the 1950s got codified as a symbol of traditional values when in fact it was an anonymous case in many ways. For instance, more women were enrolled in college in the 1930s than in the 1950s.    Jean stays overtime for paying Substack subscribers to share her feelings about her own age generation. That happens to be Generation X, which is one of Meghan's favorite topics. Meghan asks why Gen X is the real "greatest generation."

This week my guest is Jean Twenge, a renowned psychologist, professor, and author who has been one of the world's leading researchers investigating generational differences and the impacts of technology. This includes her books The Narcissism Epidemic, Generation Me, and my personal favorite iGen: Why Today's Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant, Less Happy–and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood. In this episode we explore Jean's wonderful collection of work through the lens of her newest book, Generations, where we investigate how Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z have been shaped by technology and the implications this holds for the future. This takes us on a tour of discussions around the animosity between generations, mental health, personality traits like narcissism, regulations for social media platforms, and more. or follow her at twitter.com/jean_twenge ** Learn more about Singularity: ⁠⁠⁠⁠su.org⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host:⁠⁠⁠⁠ Steven Parton⁠⁠⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠ /⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by: Amine el Filali

You're not imagining it: there's an epidemic of narcissism. Like other epidemics, it's not easy to identify the precise cause of this one. In this episode, we're delving into the difference between destructive and healthy narcissism, the failure of the self-esteem movement, and the practical steps we can take as parents to raise resilient kids who are destined for meaningful relationships.  _________________ “I love this show!”

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “According to [Dr. Jean] Twenge [a co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic and professor of psychology at San Diego State University], indicators of self-esteem have risen consistently since the 1980s…. But, she says, what starts off as healthy self-esteem can quickly morph into an inflated view of oneself—a self-absorption and sense of entitlement that looks a lot like narcissism….” ~“How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” by Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly “The trouble with human nature is that we are born with a heart that loves ourselves over and above everything else in this world, including God. In short, we are born slaves to the lust for self-gratification, i.e., concupiscence. That's why, if left to ourselves, we will always love those things that make us feel good about ourselves, even as we depart more and more from God and his ways. Therefore, God must intervene in our lives in order to bring salvation.” ~Dr. Ashley Null, resident scholar at Humboldt University in Berlin in his work “Thomas Cranmer's Doctrine of Repentance: Renewing the Power of Love” “When we are securely rooted in personal intimacy with the source of life, it will be possible to remain flexible without being relativistic, convinced without being rigid, willing to confront without being offensive, gentle and forgiving without being soft, and true witnesses without being manipulative.” ~Henri Nouwen (1932-1996), priest, professor, and writer “Don't worry that your children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” ~Robert Fulghum, American author “One of my mom's favorite sayings: ‘Behind every successful child is an astonished parent.'” ~Cory Booker, attorney and U.S. Senator SERMON PASSAGE Ephesians 6:1-4 (ESV) Ephesians 5 15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, 20 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 6 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Deuteronomy 6 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

One question I am asked often is how do I deal with a narcissist.  Recently I had a complicated and confusing experience with someone projecting extremely narcissistic behavior towards me.  Lying about me and attempting to trigger and attack me using manipulative tactics. How do we deal with the Narcissism.  Of course our teachings tell us to love them, imagine them differently, to  find this aspect in ourselves.  But there is more to it. It is like a virus and it acan infect you You must be tired of them. They're everywhere.  And if you think there are more of them than ever, you're right. Research shows we are experiencing a narcissism epidemic. From The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement: In data from 37,000 college students, narcissistic personality traits rose just as fast as obesity from the 1980s to the present, with the shift especially pronounced for women. The rise in narcissism is accelerating, with scores rising faster in the 2000s than in previous decades. Now we all have a little narcissism in us and these days we have a lot more than we need around us. Let's learn more about what narcissism is, how to deal with narcissists.  For this may be the real epidemic. The New Earth Activation trainings - Immerse yourself in 12 hours of content focused on the new earth with channelings, meditations, advanced training and access to the new earth https://realityrevolutioncon.com/newearth Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 BUY MY BOOK! https://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen to my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V All my videos about Dr. Joseph Murphy - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo_OtBhXg2s85UuZBT-OihF_ All My Neville Goddard Videos In One Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo8kBZsJpp3xvkRwhbXuhg0M For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119/ #newearth #newheaven  #imagination #newthought #lawofattraction #totalhumanoptimization

In the 15th episode of the M3 Bearcast I speak with Jeffery Roman and Xavier Spann about the book The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement. We have had many discussions of narcissism on M3 Before, but in this discussion, we tackle the reasons why narcissism has been such a hot topic. The authors of this book talk about how the culture shifted towards individualism and away from collectivism. We discuss the role of consumerism in bolstering narcissistic personality traits. And we end by trying to see what lessons we can learn from narcissistsIf you would like to support M3 participate in our Amazon affiliate program by purchasing The Narcissism Epidemic  https://amzn.to/3sFEIdOSubscribe to Male Media Mind on social media.

In the 13th episode of the M3 Bearcast I speak with Xavier Spann and Jeffery Roman about what it means to forgive and how we do it. The two of them bring a great deal of experience working as mental health professionals and in their personal lives. I'm hoping that this discussion can help anyone who is dealing with resentment and considering forgiveness as a way of dealing with it. If you can't forgive someone I hope this episode gives you perspective as to why that is and why you don't have to feel guilty about it.

This episode was inspired by this Insider article, Baby Boomers Are More Sensitive Than Millennials. Science is often butchered by the media, so I sent it along to our own Dr. Lindsey Osterman to see if the study backs up the article. As it turns out... not really. But it does say some interesting things. Listen in and find out! Wetzel and colleagues (2017), The Narcissism Epidemic is Dead; Long Live the Narcissism Epidemic

We are living in the era of the Selfie. Recently two American academics wrote a book called "The Narcissism Epidemic" - everyone is obsessed with themselves and their own 'brand'. But that is not Jesus' way - what he says in this passage is very counter-cultural and we need to hear it. See https://understandthebible.uk for more like this. The quote from No Little People at the end which I unfortunately missed off is this. Just to explain, in this sermon he has been looking at Moses' staff (or stick / rod) - how God even managed to use a stick of wood: "The people who receive praise from the Lord Jesus will not in every case be the people who hold leadership in this life. There will be many persons who were sticks of wood that stayed close to God and were quiet before him, and were used in power by Him in a place which looks small to men. "Each Christian is to be a rod of God in the place of God for him. We must remember throughout our lives that in God's sight there are no little people and no little places. Only one thing is important: to be consecrated persons in God's place for us, at each moment. Those who think of themselves as little people in little places, if committed to Christ and living under His Lordship in the whole of life, may, by God's grace, change the flow of our generation. And as we get on a bit in our lives, knowing how weak we are, if we look back and see we have been somewhat used of God, then we should be the rod "surprised by joy."

The stories of Anders Behring Breivik and Lance Armstrong may seem to have little in common, but each shows the consequences of the epidemic of narcissism that marks our age. Our lives no longer centred on social and family groups, but have become highly individualistic. We are primed for narcissism by consumer culture, changing family dynamics and growing inequality. It’s time we looked at the sources of this epidemic and how it can be stopped. Anne Manne is an Australian writer and social commentator.

Meet your new COMM122 Podcast hosted by Maxwell Gilles! Hello! Welcome to COMM122 Podcast. My name is Maxwell Gilles, and I will be hosting this podcast for Professor Wayne. We begin our first episode on the media industry and its relationship with the society we live in. We first introduce media industries as a cultural industry. What does that mean? It means media, whether they are news media, entertainment media, or internet media, crete culture. More precisely, it means: media produce and reinforce mainstream cultures, shape and adapt to the dominant ideology.You probably have heard a lot about how media products define our contemporary culture and values. It’s true that to some extent media content determines what is right and wrong, what is desirable, and what is not, what is cool and what is out of fashion. Here is an example; try searching hashtag, avocado toast, on Instagram, you will find tens of thousands of pictures of smashed avocado toast. How come people are so obsessed with avocado toast? People have been eating avocado toast since as early as the 1990s. But only until recently has it turned into a pop culture phenomenon. The pivotal moment came when Gwyneth Paltrow, an Academy-Award winning actress, endorsed the dish wholeheartedly in her cookbook. Since then, food bloggers and food magazines have started copying her recipe; people have started posting about it, making avocado toast Instagrammable. In other words, media platforms, and media personnel, as part of the cultural industry, has created the popular culture surrounding avocado toast. If you want to learn more about this intriguing history between media and avocado toast, read the Washington Post article Professor Wayne have uploaded. Here is another example. What is your view on legalizing marijuana? You may support or oppose it, but the popular sentiment in the state of Massachusetts is generally supportive. According to a poll done by W B E Z and UMass-Amherst in 2016, over 50% of the public supports marijuana legalization. Did you know that in 1988, only 24 percent of Americans came out supporting the legalization? Why has public opinion changed so dramatically? A key factor is how the media has portrayed marijuana. Media researchers found that support for legalization began to increase shortly after the media began to cover marijuana, NOT as an issue of drug trafficking, but a medical issue. You can read about the study in the assigned article from the website The Conversation.Are you a narcissist? Do you watch reality TV? This may sound like a loaded question, but give me a moment to explain. For example, I am sure President Trump is a narcissist. But, does watching his show the Apprentice make you a narcissist? Actually, there appears to be a correlation between consuming reality TV shows and Narcissistic Personality Disorder, also known as NPD, a clinically diagnosable mental issue. Of course, correlation does not mean causation, but you will find many great thinkers blaming entertainment media and celebrity culture for creating the egocentric, me culture. On this topic, I am recommending two popular books: “The Narcissism Epidemic” and “The Mirror Effect.” I have given your three examples of media creating and shaping cultures. What is your example? Can you tell us how your value, belief, and personal preference is influenced by the media content you consume? Keep the question in mind as we move to the next episode on media and dominant ideology.

REFLECTION QUOTES “We cannot be so evil as he is good.” ~John Newton (1725-1807), Anglican clergyman and writer of “Amazing Grace” “…a due contemplation of the glory of Christ will restore and compose the mind, bring it into a sedate, quiet frame, wherein faith will be able to say unto the winds and waves of distempered passions, ‘Peace, be still'; and they shall obey it…. [It] is the sovereign antidote that will expel all the poison that is in them; which otherwise might perplex and enslave their souls.” ~John Owen (1616-1683), Puritan theologian at Oxford University, who lost 10 children to death. “…measures of self-esteem are poor predictors of how content a person will be…. According to Jean Twenge [co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic and professor of psychology at San Diego State University], research shows that much better predictors of life fulfillment and success are perseverance, resiliency, and reality-testing—qualities that people need so they can navigate the day-to-day.” ~“How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” by Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly “Someday, when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a mother, I'll tell them: I loved you enough…to say no when you hated me for it. That was the hardest part of all.” ~Erma Bombeck (1927-1996), humorist and mother “Christ releases you to be truly human, and you must now learn to express your true self according to the divine pattern, not in self-assertion but in self-giving.” ~N.T. Wright, commenting on Colossians 3 “Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him…. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.” ~C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) in his book Mere Christianity SERMON PASSAGE Colossians 3:1-21 (NASB) 1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. 3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. 5 Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. 6 For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, 7 and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.8 But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. 9 Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, 10 and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him— 11 a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all. 12 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14 Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. 18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. 20 Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.

REFLECTION QUOTES “According to [Dr. Jean] Twenge [a co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic and professor of psychology at San Diego State University], indicators of self-esteem have risen consistently since the 1980s…. But, she says, what starts off as healthy self-esteem can quickly morph into an inflated view of oneself—a self-absorption and sense of entitlement that looks a lot like narcissism….” ~“How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” by Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly “The trouble with human nature is that we are born with a heart that loves ourselves over and above everything else in this world, including God. In short, we are born slaves to the lust for self-gratification, i.e., concupiscence. That's why, if left to ourselves, we will always love those things that make us feel good about ourselves, even as we depart more and more from God and his ways. Therefore, God must intervene in our lives in order to bring salvation.” ~Ashley Null, scholar at Humboldt University in Berlin “When we are securely rooted in personal intimacy with the source of life, it will be possible to remain flexible without being relativistic, convinced without being rigid, willing to confront without being offensive, gentle and forgiving without being soft, and true witnesses without being manipulative.” ~Henri Nouwen (1932-1996), priest, professor and writer “Don't worry that your children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” ~Robert Fulghum, American author “When you have children, your perspective on the parent-child relationship alters.” ~Salman Rushdie, British Indian novelist and essayist “Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.” ~Plato, ancient Greek philosopher and founder of the Academy in Athens “It is a wise parent who knows his own child.” ~William Shakespeare (1564-1616), English poet and playwrigh SERMON PASSAGE Genesis 1:26-31 & Mark 7:20-23 (ESV) Genesis 1 26 Then God said, “Let us make manin our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Mark 7 20 And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

Why is this? …‘People who feel like they're unusually special end up alienating those around them,' Twenge says. ‘They don't know how to work on teams as well or deal with limits. They get into the workplace and expect to be stimulated all the time…. They don't like being told by a boss that their work might need improvement, and they feel insecure if they don't get a constant stream of praise….'” “The irony is that measures of self-esteem are poor predictors of how content a person will be…. According to Jean Twenge, research shows that much better predictors of life fulfillment and success are perseverance, resiliency, and reality-testing—qualities that people need so they can navigate the day-to-day.” ~“How to Land Your Kid in Therapy” by Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly “…we are not entitled to such license…of affirming what we please; we make the Holy Scriptures the rule and the measure of every tenet; we necessarily fix our eyes upon that, and approve that alone which may be made to harmonize with the intention of those writings.” ~Gregory of Nyssa, 4th century Christian bishop “For concerning the divine and sacred Mysteries of the Faith, we ought not to deliver even the most casual remark without the Holy Scriptures: nor be drawn aside by mere probabilities and the artifices of argument. Do not then believe me because I tell you these things, unless you receive from the Holy Scriptures the proof of what is set forth: for this salvation, which is of our faith, is not by ingenious reasonings, but by proof from the Holy Scriptures.” ~Cyril of Alexandria, 5th century Christian bishop SERMON PASSAGE Jude (ESV) 1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James, To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: 2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. 8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” 10 But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion. 12 These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever. 14 It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage. 17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” 19 It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. 22 And have mercy on those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh. 24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Narcissism has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S., with potentially devastating consequences. Today, I interview Dr. Keith Campbell the co-author of “The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement.” We discuss the narcissism epidemic: how we got we here, the consequences, and what we can do about it.

It probably isn't the one you are thinking. There is a new n-word that has risen through the ranks to be the ultimate slur … narcissist. But, is being narcissistic really the evil that it is portrayed to be? Are we really experiencing a Narcissism Epidemic, as some have asserted? Or, is narcissism, like many other psychological terms, simply misunderstood?The vilification of narcissism has been in the works for several decades and has now reached the point where it is the accusation of choice. If someone promotes their ideas, or themselves, they are a narcissist. If they feel that they are special, they are a narcissist.I had been planning on doing an episode on narcissism and selfishness later, but in light of recent allegations against Crazy Heart (I know, he wants the topic dropped, but I feel that it needs to be discussed), I decided to move it forward.On July 27th, please join me live at 7 pm eastern (UTC-5) to discuss the following:History of narcissism in psychoanalytical thought (From Freud, Kohut, Kernberg, to the modern idea that we are in a Narcissism Epidemic)The myth of Narcissus and Echo (huh? Did you forget about Echo? That is actually apt, according to legend)The need (or drive) to feel specialThe narcissism spectrumSelfishness, selflessness and servitudeThe hypocritical views, or double standards, of egotism and service, from my observations on social media, and to some extent, within our local communities.The need for assertive language, which is dependant on expression of one's self (I feel, I need, I want), in order to maintain healthy relationships and communicate effectively.For this episode, I will be drawing primarily from two sources, as well as a variety of other resources:Malkin, C. (n.d.), Rethinking narcissism: The bad - and surprising good - about feeling special.Select essays from Rand, A., & Branden, N. (1964). The virtue of selfishness, a new concept of egoism.

It doesn't take a psychologist to see narcissism in our culture of selfies. But we decided to talk to one anyway. Jean Twenge is a researcher and author of the books The Narcissism Epidemic, and Generation Me.

The stories of Anders Behring Breivik and Lance Armstrong may seem to have little in common, but each shows the consequences of the epidemic of narcissism that marks our age. Our lives no longer centre on social and family groups, but have become highly individualistic. We are primed for narcissism by consumer culture, changing family dynamics and growing inequality. A society full of people who are self-obsessed, have a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others is not going to be a happy place. It’s time we looked at the sources of this epidemic and how it can be stopped.Anne Manne is an Australian writer and social commentator. She is the author of Motherhood: How should we care for our children?, So This is Life: Scenes from a country childhood and soon to be published The Life of I: The new culture of narcissism.
