Podcasts about Selfishness

Send me a some feedback!This episode takes the conversation around giving and receiving to a deeper level. Building on last week's exploration of the five ways we block ourselves from receiving, Mike uncovers the emotional reasons behind those blocks and reveals why so many generous, caring, and successful people struggle to receive support, abundance, love, ease, and opportunity. At the heart of this episode is a powerful realization that emerged while writing Mike's upcoming book, Built to Give. Rebuilt to Receive. The issue is rarely the external circumstance. More often, we block goodness from entering our lives because we're unconsciously trying to avoid certain feelings. Understanding these emotions becomes the key to becoming a better receiver and experiencing a higher quality of life. Key Takeaways1. We often block goodness from entering our lives to avoid uncomfortable feelings. The challenge isn't usually receiving itself. It's the emotions that receiving might trigger inside of us. 2. Seven core emotions frequently drive our resistance to receiving. Selfishness, being a burden, judgment, rejection, shame, superiority, and disappointment often sit beneath our unwillingness to receive support, abundance, love, and opportunity. 3. Over-givers often delay permission to receive. Many people spend their lives giving, serving, helping, and supporting others while continuously postponing their own turn to receive. 4. Avoiding emotions keeps them alive. What we resist persists. The path to freedom isn't avoiding uncomfortable emotions but learning how to move into, through, and beyond them. 5. The path to becoming a better receiver is making the uncomfortable comfortable. Growth happens when we willingly feel the emotions we've spent our lives trying to avoid. The more comfortable we become with those feelings, the easier it becomes to receive life fully. Notable Quotes "The greatest lie ever told is that it's better to give than receive."  "The reason we block goodness from flowing into our life is to avoid a feeling."  "The wealthiest, happiest, most successful people I know are easy receivers."  "Whatever you resist persists. Whatever you feel heals."  "The way to heal is into the discomfort and through it." Call to ActionIf this episode resonated with you, spend a few moments reflecting on which of the seven emotions shows up most often in your life. Is it the fear of being selfish? The fear of judgment? The fear of rejection, shame, disappointment, or being a burden?Awareness is the first step.Once you understand what you're trying to avoid, you can begin the process of moving through it instead of organizing your life around it.If you're ready to do this work at a deeper level, join Mike for the upcoming Built to Give, Rebuilt to Receive Workshop on August 28–29 just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, where you'll learn how to identify and release the blocks that keep you from fully receiving life.

Selfishness can produce an unhealthy and harmful attitude. From this divine demonstration of compassion let us learn that the most effective way to perform the tasks set before us each is to simply follow instructions. And let's be prudent enough to follow God's instructions learned from the word of God by the directions of God's spirit.

Selfishness is the greatest barrier to marital unity. If we're honest with ourselves, we're all afflicted with the disease of selfishness. Selfishness is a product of our fallen nature. But as a Christian, we've been given a new nature.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/lovelanguageminuteSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fear is caused By Temperament traits By Childhood experiences Basic needs aren't met Love Understanding Acceptance Overprotective parents Dominating parents By a traumatic experience By Anger By Sin A guilty conscience By lack of Faith Unbelief is failing to trust God Unbelief is also trusting in something besides God Ultimately by Selfishness - the basic cause of fear Shyness (an expression of fear) - is a focus on self     5. Fear is sometimes good There is a good "fear" Recognize that there is a "fear" that is different from what we are talking about here Fear God Proverbs 1:7  In this passage fear is referring to having an awareness and a reverence for God Recognize that caution can be helpful, but is different from the fear we are talking about here: Caution leads an airline pilot to check the instruments carefully Caution can lead a pharmacist to check and recheck the medication he is giving Remember that Jesus told us to fear in Matthew 10:28 Fear the one who can destroy soul and body in hell Fear that which is deadly or trying to hurt you

Let'sbegin by reading Philippians 2:19-20: "But I trust in the Lord Jesus tosend Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know yourstate. For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for yourstate." What a remarkable statement! Remember, Paul is writing from aRoman prison. He is chained to a Roman guard. He is uncertain about the outcomeof his trial. Yet even while facing his own problems, his heart is focused onthe believers at Philippi. That is the mark of a mature Christian. A matureChristian does not become consumed with his own troubles. He remains concernedabout others. Paulwanted to know how the Philippian believers were doing. Were they standingfirm? Were they remaining united? Were they growing spiritually? He careddeeply about them. But Paul faced a problem. He could not go himself. So helooked around for someone he could trust. Among all the believers in Rome, Paulfound one man whom he believed would genuinely care for the Philippians. Thatman was Timothy. Paul says, "I have no one like-minded." Thephrase "like-minded" carries the idea of being of the same soul orkindred spirit. Timothy had spent years traveling with Paul, learning from him,serving alongside him, suffering with him, and praying with him. Over time,Timothy began to develop the same heart that Paul had. That is whatdiscipleship is all about. Jesusspent three years with His disciples. Paul spent years with Timothy. Godlycharacter is often caught as much as it is taught. Timothy learned how to carefor people by watching Paul care for people. I am reminded of what Paul wrotein 1 Corinthians 11:1: "Imitate me, just as I also imitateChrist." Every believer needs someone to learn from and someone tohelp. One of the greatest needs in our churches today is spiritual mentoring.Older believers should be encouraging younger believers. More mature Christiansshould be helping those who are younger in the faith. Timothyhad a servant's heart. Notice Paul says that Timothy would "sincerelycare" for their welfare. The word means genuine concern. Not professionalconcern.    Not forced concern. Notconcern because it was his job. Genuine concern. Timothy truly cared aboutpeople. That immediately raises a question for us. Do we genuinely care aboutothers? It is easy to become wrapped up in our own schedules, our own plans,our own problems, and our own needs. Yet Jesus constantly looked beyond Himselfto the needs of others. Even while hanging on the cross, He cared for Hismother. Even while suffering, He prayed for His enemies. Even while dying, Hesaved a thief. That is the heart of Christ. Onepastor said, "People don't care how much you know until they know how muchyou care." How true that is.Peopleare looking for genuine Christians who will listen, pray, encourage, and help. Asimple phone call can change someone's day. A handwritten note can strengthen adiscouraged believer. A visit can encourage someone who feels forgotten. Aprayer can lift a burden. You never know what God can dothrough a caring heart. The submissive mind always produces concern for others.Selfishness asks, "What can others do for me?" Love asks, "Whatcan I do for others?" Perhapstoday there is someone God has placed on your heart. Maybe it is a familymember. Maybe it is a neighbor. Maybe it is a fellow church member. Maybe it issomeone who is hurting. Don't ignore that prompting. Reach out. Encourage them.Pray for them. Show them the love of Christ. That is exactly what Timothy wouldhave done. And that is exactly what Christ would have us do. Let'spray. Father, thank You for the example of Timothy. Give us hearts thatgenuinely care for others. Deliver us from selfishness and help us to seepeople through Your eyes. Use us today to encourage someone and point them toJesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

Conflict provides a unique opportunity to honor God. Proverbs 15:1 reveals that a gentle answer turns away wrath, while harsh words fuel quarrels. Navigating tension with biblical wisdom transforms difficult moments into paths for reconciliation. Implementing the four G's—Glorify God, Get the log out of the eye, Gently restore, and Go and be reconciled—fosters healthy connections. Selfishness often hinders peace, but following the example of Jesus brings restoration.   Pastor: Enos Marshall Series: Better Together (7) Title: Cooperation (Proverbs 15:1) Date: 2026.05.30+31   LINKS:

We're born bent toward ourselves — toward comfort, image, and control.But Jesus shows us another way.Paul calls us to humility… to lay down selfish ambition… to see others as better than ourselves.And Christ gives us the pattern: God in flesh choosing a towel, kneeling low, serving with love.Selfishness turns relationships into transactions.Servanthood opens the door to real joy.When life stops being about me,Jesus becomes the center —and love finally has room to breathe

Organisms are merely survival machines for their genes. This audiobook summary reveals the shocking implications for altruism and human nature.

Soccer is the world's most popular sport, yet its origins are shrouded in chaos, and its modern “analytics” are often flawed. ⚽ HOW TO WATCH SOCCER LIKE A GENIUS (Abrams Press, May 12, 2026) by Nick Greene https://amzn.to/4eVb8ve ⚽ Author Nick Greene joins The Brian D. O'Leary Show to dismantle everything you thought you knew about “the beautiful game”. Using insights from architects, stuntwomen, paleoanthropologists, and computer scientists, we tear into the history of soccer's bizarre early rules and expose why American youth player development is fundamentally broken. Timed with the World Cup coming to North America, this conversation uncovers soccer's shared roots with American football and rugby, revealing a time when the sport featured fair catches and touchdowns. We dig into how the introduction of the FA Cup forced a standard set of rules, and contrast Scotland's early tactical advantage through passing with England's aristocratic refusal to share the ball. We also explore a disastrous 1940s analytics study that set English tactics back decades, the space-warping genius of Lionel Messi, and the absurd limits of modern optimization. Finally, we celebrate, but Greene critiques, the American youth soccer focus on the “battering ram” approach over actual technique. Subscribe at https://OLearyReview.com for more from UNRELENTING – The O'Leary Review. Conversation Highlights (Chapters) The World Cup and Unlikely Soccer Experts The Shared DNA of Soccer, Rugby, and American Football Freemasons, Fair Catches, and the FA Cup Scotland's Passing vs. England's Selfishness The RAF Pilot Who Ruined English Tactics Why the Best Team Doesn't Always Win Lionel Messi's Space-Warping Genius Tottenham's Showers and the Limits of Analytics Could Shaq Have Revolutionized Soccer? Key Takeaways Shared Roots: Soccer, rugby, and American football share the same origins. Early soccer even featured fair catches and touchdowns. The Forward Pass: Scotland dominated early international soccer by embracing a passing game, while wealthy English players selfishly refused to pass the ball. Bad Math: A flawed 1940s study by a retired RAF pilot convinced English soccer that passing was useless, leading to a long era of “caveman long ball tactics”. Mastering Space: Lionel Messi changes the gravity of the field, often accomplishing more by walking through space than other players do by sprinting. The Battering Ram: American youth soccer prioritizes winning through sheer size, whereas elite global academies focus entirely on technique. Tweetable Quotes “The fact that the best team doesn't always win is… the most to me, natural human thing about soccer.” - Nick Greene “People who don't watch or aren't interested in sports are missing out because it's such a Rosetta Stone.” - Nick Greene “They're learning how to be battering rams and kick the ball to the battering ram.” - Nick Greene Resources Mentioned HOW TO WATCH SOCCER LIKE A GENIUS (Abrams Press, May 12, 2026) by Nick Greene: https://amzn.to/4eVb8ve Hoosiers (1986): https://amzn.to/43hOfuS (Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)

A terminal diagnosis doesn't mean life is over, it means it's just beginning. This book summary reveals the surprising truth about living fully.

In a culture that constantly redefines truth, how do you build a marriage that actually stands firm? Dr. Kim sits down with Aaron and Amy Graham to talk about choosing faith over culture and why most marriages don't fall apart overnight—they slowly drift as outside voices shape what we believe about love, identity, and purpose. The Grahams challenge couples to examine those influences, guard their identity, and remember that marriage was designed for more than just their own happiness. This conversation is a powerful reminder that your spouse isn't meant to meet every need—and that intimacy with God is the foundation for a thriving marriage.   Episode highlights: Drifting is a slow process. If we are to live a life that goes against culture, we must know truth and live by it.  Marriage has a greater mission than just your happiness. Quotes from this Episode: The Grahams: If the church doesn't disciple people, the world gladly will. What does it look like to stand firm in a marriage? It's to not give the devil a foothold. Sometimes we don't realize how we have subtly imported a secular worldview into every area of our life.  The enemy doesn't want to just tempt us to sin. He wants to reshape our identity and distort our worship.  God has designed us for intimacy and that starts in our marriage relationship.  We have to go into our marriage understanding that our spouse isn't going to solve all of our loneliness. We have to have relationship with God.  The secular lie is that we determine what truth is: my feelings, my version of the truth. Marriage sometimes can become an idol for people when they don't have a bigger mission than just marriage. Because your marriage can become self centered- what the main mission- it's not just your happiness.  Dr. Kim: So much of our faith is knowing that this God who created everything loves us conditionally in a culture where nobody loves us unconditionally- sometimes that's hard to get a hold of. Selfishness is something we have to be aware of our whole marriage because we can fall into that trap.  God is never going to do anything in you that is not good for your marriage.  Time to talk about it: Are there ideas we need to deconstruct in our marriage?  What voices are we allowing to speak into our marriage? Do they align with the Truth? What disciplines do we need to implement to show that our marriage is a priority and to honor the union that God has brought together?    Mentioned in This Episode: Connect with Aaron and Amy Graham.

Have you ever noticed a tendency in yourself to put your own wants before the needs of others?If we're honest, that's not an easy thing to admit. Most people don't naturally think of themselves as selfish. And yet, when we slow down and truly examine our hearts, selfishness is something we all wrestle with at times.Recently, Mark has felt God directing his attention to this area in his own life. What we've discovered is that selfishness can be sneaky—which makes it difficult to identify. It can show up as that desire to stay on the couch rather than fold the load of laundry sitting in the dryer. It could look like neglecting to show up at a friend's party because you didn't feel like going, even though you know it would mean a lot to them.Selfishness takes many forms, but no matter how it shows up, it affects the state of our hearts in a very real way. That's why we wanted to take some time to talk about how addressing selfishness is having an impact in our life, as well as offer some tips that everyone can use to tackle selfishness.In this episode, you'll hear:How avoiding sacrifice can cause us to miss blessingsFour steps to address selfishnessHow self-care is different from selfishnessAnd more!Find resources mentioned and more in the show notes: jillsavage.org/tackling-selfishness-298Check out our other resources:Mark and Jill's Marriage StoryMarriage CoachingMarriage 2.0 IntensivesSpeaking ScheduleBook Mark and Jill to SpeakOnline CoursesBooks Marriage Resources:Infidelity RecoveryFor Happy MarriagesFor Hurting MarriagesFor Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources:New/Preschool MomsMoms with GradeschoolersMoms with Teens and TweensMoms with Kids Who Are LaunchingEmpty Nest Moms

Nice Guy Diagnosis https://theinspirationallifestyle.com/nice-guy-social-confidence-quiz/ Apply for a free 1:1 trial coaching session with Dan (spaces strictly limited): https://theinspirationallifestyle.com/lets-talk/ Are nice guys and people pleasers actually being “kind”… or just controlling? In this episode, I break down the hidden narcissism behind people pleasing — the covert contracts, emotional manipulation, resentment, approval-seeking, and need for control that often hide beneath the surface of being “nice.” If you constantly feel exhausted, unappreciated, anxious about how others see you, or frustrated that your kindness isn't rewarded, this episode will challenge the way you see yourself and your relationships. Inside this episode: Why people pleasing is often about control, not generosity The hidden “God complex” behind trying to manage everyone's emotions How covert contracts create resentment and destroy intimacy The overlap between narcissism and nice guy syndrome Why honesty and integrity are the real solution to social anxiety and approval-seeking How to stop manipulating people through guilt, caretaking, and self-sacrifice This is a brutally honest deep dive into people pleasing, codependency, covert narcissism, validation addiction, and authentic confidence. If you're tired of being fake nice, emotionally exhausted, and secretly resentful… this episode is for you.

This week we're diving into Selfish, the raw and revealing memoir by Kerry Faherty, mother and co-founder of Faherty Brand.  We unpack radical honesty, telling the full truth about your life without people pleasing, and the tension that comes with being fully seen. Including why sharing your truth can upset people, and how to navigate that discomfort in relationships. We explore reclaiming the word “selfish” as a tool for self worth and aliveness, the burnout of overgiving, and what happens when you lose yourself trying to keep everyone else happy. We also get into self reflection, living more expansively, and the cycle of wounding and healing in relationships. Everything we LOVE talking about!

Dr. Vitz challenges us to be more thoughtful of the needs of others and identify when we act from a place of lack. (Originally aired 10-17-2024)

EP 681: Connor Koch Some episodes just take a minute to get right. We lost the first version of this one — somewhere out there is an SD card with what I’m sure was a hell of a conversation — and you know what? Maybe that was the universe telling us to go again. Because this one hit different. Connor Koch is one of those guys who just operates on a different level. Arc’teryx ambassador for seven years, a man who’s climbed every 14er in the lower 48, skied big lines from Alaska to the High Sierra, and survived an 1,100-foot avalanche ride in ways that defy explanation. He’s the real deal. And now? He’s deep in the hunting rabbit hole, chasing elk solo through grizzly country with a bow he just learned to shoot, logging 70-plus days in the field and coming home with the kind of stories that remind you why we do all of this. We cover a lot of ground in this one. Connor grew up in a tiny San Diego-area town, never saw mountains until his Nissan’s transmission blew up somewhere near a place called Zzyzx on the way to Colorado. He pulled into Vail Pass, jumped out into the June air, and knew — at a cellular level, he says — that he’d found home. That moment launched a decade of elite mountain pursuits that would shape everything that came after. We dig into what it’s like to be a master of one discipline and a beginner in another — and how humbling it is when all your fitness and mental toughness still can’t outwit a wily bull elk. Connor talks about burning a shot opportunity 45 minutes into his first day of bow hunting, running 70+ days solo in the backcountry, getting his camp ripped apart by a known problem grizz the same night he hit a bull high, and why he doesn’t regret any of it. That’s the journey. That’s the process. But it goes way deeper than hunting. Connor opens up about the avalanche that changed him — a full slope that fractured wall to wall, a 1,100-foot washing machine ride, karate-chopping blocks of wind slab before getting obliterated, and emerging from the toe of the debris alive while his partners tunneled out around him. He talks about what that does to your relationship with risk, with the mountains, and with yourself. And then, the hardest decision of his career: turning down a prepackaged invite to ski 8,000-meter peaks in Pakistan, not because he couldn’t do it, but because he finally understood that some pages in your book are okay to leave blank. This is a conversation about reinvention, risk tolerance, the courage to step off the ship when it’s time, and what happens when a man who spent a decade trying to conquer mountains starts learning to be conquered by elk season. Oh, and also — he’s catering his entire wedding with two cow elk and some deer he harvested himself. That’s the kind of dude Connor Koch is. Pull up a chair. This one’s worth every minute.

Your Greatest Strength in One Arena Can Be Your Biggest Weakness in Another Connor came into elk hunting as an elite mountain athlete — faster, fitter, and more mentally tough than almost anyone in the field. And it nearly worked against him. He was blowing out animals by moving too fast, pushing wind when he shouldn’t have, covering miles that didn’t need covering. The hard-won lesson: hunting rewards patience and animal knowledge above all else. Fitness is a tool, not a cheat code. The most valuable thing a hunter can develop — that gut intuition built from thousands of hours of observation — can’t be outworked or outrun. Know what you bring to the table, and be honest about where the gaps are. 2. The Process Is the Point — Not Just a Cliché Connor spent 70+ days chasing elk solo and came home with hard-earned lessons he wouldn’t trade for anything. He let a five-point walk at 42 yards on day one. He lost a bull to a high hit, a rainstorm, and a problem grizzly. He laid in his shredded tent for days still searching. And he says he doesn’t regret any of it. Not because it sounds good, but because every one of those moments compounded into something real. The hunters who last — and who eventually become consistently successful — are the ones who decide early that the journey is the whole thing, not a detour on the way to the outcome. 3. Knowing When to Step Off the Ship Is Its Own Kind of Courage One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is when Connor talks about turning down an invite to ski 8,000-meter peaks in Pakistan — a trip he’d been dreaming about for years. Not because he was scared. Not because he couldn’t do it. But because he finally understood that some chapters have to close so others can open. He’d survived avalanches, close calls, and years of operating on the edge, and he arrived at a place of genuine peace with leaving certain pages in his book blank. That kind of self-awareness — knowing your season, honoring your current chapter, and resisting the pull of old identity — is rare. And it applies way beyond the mountains.

Sermon Notes: The Practice of Love: The Power for Victory  Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa   Main Scripture Focus: Galatians 5:6, Mark 11:23-25, 1 Peter 3:8-12, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. I. Love: The Engine of Faith The Activation of Power: Faith is not a standalone force; it is "activated, energized, and expressed" through love. The Cause of Stagnation: If your confessions of Scripture are not producing results, check your love walk. Bitterness and unforgiveness act as spiritual blockades to miracles. Maturity Over Gifting: The greatest measurement of spiritual growth is not the intensity of your tongues or the accuracy of a prophecy, but the depth of your love for others. II. The Danger of Offense and the "Gates of Hell" The Trap of Offense: Satan often uses offense as leverage to fight against the church. When you decide to leave a church or stop serving because of an offense, you are falling into a demonic snare. A "Hospital" Mindset: The church is not a place for perfect people; it is a place for the "sick, weak, and offended" looking for healing. We must accommodate each other's frailties. Selfishness in Conflict: Most offenses in the body of Christ are rooted in self-centeredness—being more concerned with one's own feelings than the unity of the body. III. Love as Divine Protection The Power of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a spiritual decision, not an emotion. When you forgive, you close the doors that allow the enemy access to your life. The Consequences of Bitterness: Bitterness can cause physical sickness and spiritual blindness, leading a person to "not know where they are going". The "Eyes of the Lord": According to 1 Peter 3, long life, "good days," and divine protection are promised to those who keep their tongues from evil and seek peace. IV. Practical Love in Action The sermon outlines specific traits of Agape love that believers must practice: Suffering Long: Enduring difficult people with patience. Being Kind: actively seeking the welfare and happiness of others. Not Boasting or Being Proud: Operating without a sense of superiority or "puffing yourself up" over others. Keeping No Record of Wrongs: refusing to hold on to past hurts or using them against someone later. Protecting Others: Covering a brother or sister in private rather than exposing their weaknesses. V. Conclusion: The Victorious Walk Everything Else May Fail: Prophecies, tongues, and specialized knowledge are temporary and may fail or cease, but love is eternal and never fails. The Final Goal: The believer's "great quest" should be to attain a state where they speak the truth in love and grow into the full stature of Christ. Sermon Declaration: “I refuse to live a powerless or disconnected life. I choose to make love my great quest. From today, I reposition my life so that my faith is energized by love, my prayers are answered, and I walk in the total victory of God.”

He won Olympic gold in 2016, more with his brain, not his legs—and the running world never forgot it. Matthew Centrowitz Jr., the only American man to win Olympic 1,500m gold since Mel Sheppard in 1908, sits down with The Running Effect for a wide-open conversation about what it took to become the most decorated American miler of his generation.From his 2011 NCAA title at Oregon to three World Championship medals, five national outdoor crowns, and that unforgettable Rio final—Centro built a decade-long résumé that no American middle-distance runner has touched. His 3:30.40 PR at Monaco still stands as the benchmark. His tactical IQ was something no training plan could manufacture.This is a conversation about how you build a career like that—the coaching systems, the rivals, the near-misses, and the one race that made it all permanent. From Alberto Salazar's Oregon Project to the Bowerman Track Club under Jerry Schumacher, Centro navigated the highest-pressure environments in American distance running and came out the other side with gold.We want to know what it actually felt like to sit in a field of the world's best 1,500m runners and know—before the bell—that you had already won. And how a decade of that kind of focus shapes a man long after the spikes come off.The legend of Centro, here at The Running Effect.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Last week, I wrote about idolatry, and I want to share more observations from my small group. If I were to generalize from our small sample, I'd say the men tend to idolize selfishness, while the women tend to idolize sovereignty—two “S” words to make it easy to remember.For me, my idol was my iPhone, which I traced back to a desire for laziness—to give my attention to my phone instead of to God and others, and to be selfish with how I use my time. Whether it's an iPhone or other distractions, many of the men in my group struggled with an idol of selfishness.For the women, the common idol was sovereignty—the desire to be in control. Whether it was wanting things to go according to plan or planning everything in extreme detail, there was often disappointment when things fell out of their control.I'll make some biblical connections with this in my next newsletter!

By Daniel Apartian - What would you do if you knew you only had 3 months to live? Everything Jesus did in his last 24 hours was very intentional as he knew he would die. What he taught was a lesson on Godly love and how we should care for each other and exemplify that love. This sermon covers six lessons on Godly love

We continue our series about relationships by talking about selfishness and what true selflessness looks like. This week's reflection questions are below: Reflection Questions April 12, 2026 Where do you most often see selfishness show up in your relationships—wanting your way, your timing, or your preferences? Think about a recent conflict. How might that situation have revealed something inside of you, rather than just something wrong with the other person? In what ways do you tend to view life as scarce (like there's “not enough” to go around), and how does that shape how you treat others? Do you tend to lean more toward selfishness (putting yourself first) or self-neglect (ignoring your own needs)? How has that affected your relationships? Have you ever avoided expressing your needs or desires to keep peace? What did that produce in you over time (e.g., resentment, distance, exhaustion)? When have you been labeled “selfish” for setting a healthy boundary or prioritizing the right things? How did that shape your thinking? Where are you currently looking for security, affirmation, or worth from other people instead of from God? How might your relationships change if you truly believed that God is generous and that you are deeply loved and secure in Him? What is one relationship where you need to grow in honestly expressing your needs, rather than hiding them? What is one relationship where you need to grow in listening and prioritizing the needs of someone else, even when it costs you something?

In our fallen state, all of us are naturally rebellious. Selfishness, self-indulgence, and self-autonomy are central--we want to make our own rules. But humility and submission are to be central in the lives of followers of Christ.

Today's battlefield? The rights-obsessed culture screaming, “Me. Me. Me.”The enemy? Entitlement. Selfishness. Spiritual drift.But on this episode, we draw a line. We flip the script.We call men and women of faith back to what we owe—not what we're owed.Paul Neuberger exposes the hollow gospel of comfort and the ruins it's left: broken homes, fractured communities, hearts empty and anxious. He takes the fight to the root—calling every leader, father, mother, executive to own their responsibilities, embrace sacrifice, deny self, and follow Christ—no matter the cost.You will be challenged. You will be convicted. Because here's the larger spiritual truth:Jesus is still Lord—even in a culture that worships rights and abandons accountability.So, what will you do when your moment of surrender arrives?Will you protect your comfort, or will you die to self and advance His kingdom?"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love." –Galatians 5:13Episode Highlights16:30 - It says this in 1 Corinthians 6:19–20, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. You were bought at a price; therefore, honor God with your bodies." Read that carefully. You are not your own. That statement alone dismantles the entire my body, my choice, my life, my truth narrative. Because if you belong to God, then your life isn't yours to define, it's yours to steward.24:34 - Here's the bottom line for you. A life built on rights will always leave you empty. Because you were never created to live for yourself. You were created to live for something and someone greater. And until that shift happens, the consequences won't just continue, they're going to compound.26:11 - Scripture says this in Luke 17:10, "So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants, we have only done our duty." That verse cuts directly against modern thinking because modern culture says, celebrate yourself for doing the basics. God says, even when you've done everything, you've simply fulfilled your responsibility. That's not demeaning, it's grounding.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

By Daniel Apartian - This sermon explores the theme of Godly love, focusing on how Jesus Christ exemplified Agape love during the last days of His earthly life. Mr. Apartian provides a deep spiritual reflection appropriate for Passover preparation, outlining five key lessons about love learned from Jesus' final moments

When we feel like life or parenting, or schedule, or money, or all of it is out of control, we really mean out of our control, don't we?It's very important in those moments to evaluate what is in control. Living in a fallen world, so often we see sin controlling things. Selfishness, self-serving, self-gratification. The crucial thing to do is take an honest look at our own lives and ask, Is sin controlling anything in my life that I need to give to God?Listen to Paul in Romans 6:11-14 …So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus. Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God's grace. (NLT) As you heard this passage, did anything come to mind? Did any part stand out to you? Did God speak to you, even if it was just a quick flash in your mind?If sin is a master, and masters want to control, then what great news to hear we have the option to live in freedom. To be free of control or the need to control … anything … anyone.Listen to this passage again in The Message Bible … When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us. From now on, think of it this way: Sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to you; God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word. You are dead to sin and alive to God. That's what Jesus did. That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don't give it the time of day. Don't even run little errands that are connected with that old way of life. Throw yourselves wholeheartedly and full-time—remember, you've been raised from the dead!—into God's way of doing things. Sin can't tell you how to live. After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God.If this passage is true, then let me ask you … what are you not free from today? If something, someone, or any situation quickly comes to mind, how can you apply today's truth to open your hand, release your grip, and hand it over to God?Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus, Thank You for Your love. Thank You that You have defeated sin. My sin. Thank You for my freedom. Help me to walk in it—today. As above, so below.”

We are quick to label selfish or defensive behavior as "narcissism," but what if the issue runs deeper than personality? In this episode, we explore how disordered desires, our need for control, comfort, or validation, shape the way we relate to others and quietly erode connection. This conversation unpacks the difference between healthy self-awareness and self-absorption, why freedom begins when we stop defending ourselves, and how real change doesn't come from trying harder—but from surrendering deeper. You'll be challenged to look beneath behavior and consider what your heart is truly after. If you're tired of surface-level fixes and ready for lasting transformation, this episode invites you to step out of self-protection and into humility, empathy, and freedom. Episode Takeaways: What we often label as narcissism or selfishness is rooted deeper than personality. It flows from disordered desires and a heart that wants control, comfort, or validation more than connection. Healthy self-awareness leads to growth, humility, and empathy. Self-absorption does the opposite , it narrows our world until everything revolves around us and what we want. Freedom starts when we stop defending ourselves. Change doesn't come from trying harder, but surrendering deeper.   Quotes from this Episode: "Selfishness doesn't start with what we do — it starts with what we want most." "Narcissism isn't always loud or arrogant; sometimes it's quiet, defensive, and deeply fragile." "You can't out-behave a heart problem — transformation always starts inside." "The more we focus on protecting ourselves, the less capable we are of loving others." "Growth happens when we stop asking, 'How does this affect me?' and start asking, 'How did this affect you?'" "Humility isn't thinking less of yourself — it's thinking of yourself less." "God isn't after better versions of us; He's after surrendered hearts." Take Time to Talk About It: Where do you notice selfishness showing up most in your relationships — words, reactions, expectations, or silence? How can you tell the difference between healthy self-care and self-centeredness in your own life? What might change if you stopped defending yourself and started listening with curiosity instead?   Mentioned in this Episode: Awesome Marriage is on Instagram!
