Misdirected Love

About this episode

This episode explores the dangers of self-love and emphasizes finding true fulfillment through God's love.

Many people spend their lives focused on themselves, believing success, achievement, or self-fulfillment will satisfy the emptiness within. Yet the more we live for ourselves, the more disconnected we often become. In this episode, we explore the warning in 2 Timothy 3:1-2 about becoming lovers of self and how true freedom, purpose, and fulfillment are found when we receive God’s love and live from that place.
