Behind The Mike Podcast with Mike Stone

The Narcissism Epidemic: What the Bible Says About Pride in Today’s Culture


Listen Later

Have you ever dealt with someone who twists every story, demands control, and always plays the victim? The world calls it narcissism, but the Bible calls it pride — and it’s a spiritual battle that’s destroying hearts, homes, and churches.

In this powerful episode of Behind The Mike Podcast, Mike Stone uncovers the spirit of narcissism that’s taken root in our culture — and contrasts it with the Spirit of Christ, who calls us to humility, grace, and truth.

You’ll learn:

⚔️ The biblical origins of narcissism (Isaiah 14, Genesis 3, and 2 Timothy 3)
💔 How pride destroys relationships and isolates hearts
💡 The difference between healthy boundaries and self-worship
❤️‍🔥 How to walk in humility and freedom through Jesus Christ

If you’ve been wounded by manipulation, control, or gaslighting — or if you’ve seen pride creeping into your own heart — this message will speak directly to you.

✝️ “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”James 4:6
