The Problem With "Love Yourself"

Welcome back to another episode of Stay True Podcast! In a culture that constantly tells us to love yourself, romanticize our lives, protect our peace, and put ourselves first, Jesus offers a radically different invitation: come and die, deny yourself, and serve others. In this episode, Madi is answering honest questions about comparison, insecurity, people-pleasing, pride, and self-obsession. She unpacks how to take your eyes off yourself, follow the way of Jesus, and find true freedom by living for something greater than yourself.   As always, stay you and stay true!   Topics we dive into: What's wrong with the message "love yourself"? Why insecurity can be a form of self-obsession The connection between insecurity, arrogance, and pride How comparison keeps us focused on ourselves The danger of always putting yourself first How to recognize people-pleasing in your life   Helpful Resources: REGISTER FOR BE HEALED CONFERENCE: https://brushfire.com/uniteus/BEHEALEDWOMENSCONFERENCE/633933 Dare To Be True by Madison Prewett Troutt: https://a.co/d/gdfpHX5 Stay True Website: https://www.staytruepodcast.com Stay True Merch: https://www.staytruepodcast.com/merch GCU: Visit gcu.edu to learn more. iRestore: Unlock your best hair & skin with @iRestorelaser and HUGE savings on iRESTORE with code STAYTRUE at irestore.com/STAYTRUE! #irestorepod Home Chef: Go to HomeChef.com/staytrue for 50% OFF your first box and free dessert for life!   Connect with Stay True! 💙 Instagram | @staytruepodcast 💙 TikTok | @staytrue_podcast 💙 Follow Madison | @madiprew
