When "Be Yourself" Backfires: A Christian Perspective on Self-Worth :: [Ep. 263]

Self-esteem is a concept that is celebrated by our culture but may be leading us away from God's design for our lives and marriages. God calls us to find our worth and our confidence in His love and design for us, not in our uniqueness or accomplishments.

In this episode, we will cover the following:
• Self-esteem is based on comparison and puts our focus on ourselves instead of God and others
• The Bible never instructs us to focus on self-love - it assumes we already do this naturally
• Jesus demonstrated his understanding of worth through service and sacrifice, not self-focus
• The true measure of our worth

Join us today! And come back again next week for part two of this series as we dig deeper into what the Bible says about self-worth, pride, humility, and how these concepts affect our marriages.
