Sometimes the term ’narcissist' is thrown around as an insult or a criticism. But what exactly is a narcissist? In this episode of the Christ & Coffee podcast, pastors Haig and Jeremy do a deep-dive discussion on the personality disorder called narcissism.

So listen in and explore how love and honesty may just be the two core virtues that liberate our tendencies towards narcissism and narcissistic relationship patterns.
