Being of service to somebody requires you to shatter your ego. You cannot be of service and think you're better than the person you're serving.

If you want to serve God or your fellow men, you must humble yourself by following the example that Jesus set while washing his disciples feet.

It is a great act of strength to humble yourself, rid yourself of the ego in order to provide or be of service to somebody. Bless your morning with this pod as we discuss how to shatter the ego.

Scripture Referenced:

This week we're diving into the Ego, where our sense of identity comes from. Ego is incredibly important to form your personality and who you are but it will inevitably lead you astray.

When you're operating under Ego, there is no real empathy. It's all disconnected attempts at sympathy because you'll think you'll know better than everybody around you, and what people need better than they do.

Bless your morning with this pod and let's talk about how and why it's important to shatter your Ego with humility.

Referenced Scripture:

Sympathy may feel like a method of connecting to the humans around you, but it truly isn't. Unlike empathy, sympathy often creates a level of separation between you and the person struggling.

"Sympathy is a way to stay out of touch with our own emotions and make our connections transactional."

Sympathy is not inherently problematic, but it often ends up casting judgement on the person we're sympathizing with. Bless your morning with this pod and let's talk about what sympathy separation is and why it can help your relationships to do empathetical work in place of sympathy.

Referenced Scripture:

Last week we talked about the "Both/and" mentality and the advantages of not limiting your identity. Today we're talking about the self-sabotage of the "Either/or" mentality.

Oftentimes we hold ourselves back in order to make identity easier to communicate or categorize without realizing how much it's affecting our personal growth as well as our growth in the path of God.

Bless your morning with this pod and challenge the fixed mindset so many of us are trapped in.

True greatness exists in the grey areas of life. We as a culture should learn to embrace the "Both/and" mentality instead of the Zero-sum approach that has become commonplace in today's culture.
