The Connected Life

114: Loving Yourself in Religion


Listen Later

The message often conveyed through religion is one of self-deprecation and unworthiness. A system of principles based on caring for others without regard for oneself leaves many people feeling broken, bitter, and burned out. Without a proper balance, people are bound to find themselves living a lifestyle of codependency and frustration or narcissism and elitism.

In this episode Justin and Abi address the lack of self-love within the message of religion. They explore how this lack of love creates a sense of self-abandonment. They discuss ways to live a balanced spiritual life, founded in self-love,  that results in other-centered, servant-hearted love.

If you’re needing a good detox from a belief system that minimizes the value of your life, this episode will help you find a healthy balance!
