The Manipulation of People, Part 1

Listen Later

Dr. Brandon Bower and Pastor Jordan Bradley explore the motivations behind manipulative behavior, emphasizing that it stems from a desire to exert control over others in order to get our own way. This desire is linked to our human sinfulness and a lack of trust in God's divine plan.

Takeaways:

  • Manipulation can manifest in both overt and subtle ways, and can affect relationships profoundly.
  • The manipulation of others is governed by unbelief in God and trust in self.
  • Control is a bondage to pride and fear.
  • True freedom lies in surrendering control to God, as He is the ultimate authority in our lives.
