Summary

"You can't love others until you love yourself." "Just pursue what makes you happy." These are the ubiquitous mantras of our day, encouraging us to ditch the "bad vibes" and do whatever makes us feel good about ourselves and our lives. The problem is that's not biblical. I'll explain why self-love isn't Christlike and how Christians, according to the Bible, are supposed to view ourselves. Copyright CRTV. All rights reserved. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hey guys, happy Tuesday. I hope that you guys had a great weekend. I had a work slash fun trip
0:07.6	in Florida and my husband got to go with me this time. So that was really fun. I spoke to
0:12.9	a non-political group actually on Saturday morning about how to engage and motivate millennials
0:18.3	in the workplace. Public speaking, if I haven't already said this to you guys, public speaking
0:22.7	and presenting is one of my favorite things to do. I know for most people you're like,
0:27.6	this is the bane of my existence, but I love it. It just gives me a lot of energy. And plus,
0:32.8	this time it was at a beautiful beach and my husband was there with me and actually my mother and
0:38.0	father-in-law were there too. So that was really fun. So it was just a great time. I hope that you guys

0:55.2	a lot of fun actually planning this because it is no doubt a trend that has infected every part

1:24.7	Just so you can kind of be in the know. Now as I'm recording this and by the time that you are
1:29.4	listening, I'm sure that more news will occur and has already come out because this is a 24-minute
1:36.4	news cycle. But this should still give you some kind of good overview of what people are
1:42.4	outraged about and if you're not outraged, is it even 2018? So a lot happened last week that
1:49.6	carried on over the weekend. One of the things that people have been talking about is Peter
1:54.4	Strock. I don't even know how to say his last name. There's like six consonants in a row. So I'm
