Segment 1:

• YouTube gurus are misusing the term “narcissist” to manipulate relationships, especially targeting men.

• Their advice? “Torture” narcissists by reducing their significance—an approach not backed by scripture.

• Does the Bible support this trend, or is it just trendy manipulation disguised as wisdom?

Segment 2:

• Are parents being ghosted by their kids due to the narcissism trend?

• Terms like “cutting out toxic people” and “chosen family” are replacing biblical commands.

• The Bible warns against abandoning your family—this culture of detachment is dangerous and unbiblical.

Segment 3:

• We’ve coddled people’s feelings for too long, but this narcissism trend takes it too far.

• The idea that you should “torture” or “hold onto your truth” against a narcissist is against biblical teaching.

• True Christian love and engagement with others doesn’t involve playing games—it involves walking alongside them in truth and grace.

Segment 4:

• Influencers encourage you to ignore or punish those who don’t align with your truth.

• This “narcissism” culture isn’t biblical; we don’t torture people or cast them aside.

• Personal preferences aren’t narcissism; kindness and understanding are key in relationships.
