Is Selfishness Addiction Holding You Back from True Freedom and Joy?

The Selfishness Addiction – Yes, you read that right. Stephen and Jonathan dive deep into how an addiction to selfishness can shape our behaviors and strain our relationships. We’re peeling back the layers of why we sometimes confuse self-preservation with self-centeredness.

Understanding Freedom – We start by exploring the true meaning of freedom. It’s not just about breaking free from unwanted behaviors like porn addiction; it’s about finding peace, rest, and joy. We’re talking about aligning with the soul’s fundamental needs, as taught by Jesus himself.

From Selfish to Selfless – We’ve all been there, right? Putting ourselves first, fast, and completely. But here’s the kicker: the more we focus on ourselves, the less satisfied we feel. It’s a paradox that we unpack with humor, honesty, and a touch of humility.

A New Perspective – Imagine realizing that your whole life has been a race to put yourself first, only to end up feeling empty. That’s the story of a Christian brother who woke up to his selfishness addiction. It’s a powerful moment of vulnerability that might just change the way you see your own life.

Growth and Healing – This episode isn’t just about identifying the problem; it’s about finding the path to healing. We discuss the importance of taking small steps towards giving, towards others, and towards a life filled with genuine connection.

So, if you’ve ever felt caught in the cycle of coping and surviving rather than truly living, this episode is for you. It’s time to break free from the chains of selfishness and step into a life of selfless joy.
