Free Me from Me: Escaping the Maze of Self-Centeredness by Embracing a God-Centered Life

Are you caught in a maze and don't even know it? Today, Dr. Kim is joined by Ryan Wekenman to talk about the maze of self-centeredness we all have to navigate. When we begin living for applause, appreciation, or validation, we can easily drift out of sync with the Lord and into a life focused on serving ourselves—the exact opposite of what God calls us to. In this powerful conversation, Ryan and Dr. Kim challenge us to recognize the pull toward self-focus and invite us to shift our attention back where it belongs: fully on Jesus. We pray this episode encourages you to take the focus off yourself and go all in on Him.

Episode Takeaways:

Self-centeredness is a spiritual issue that affects everyone.

Control is often at the root of self-centeredness.

We need to be intentional about serving others.

Self-improvement should not come at the expense of God-centered living.

The Lord is our shepherd; we lack nothing when we trust Him.

Finding freedom comes from letting go of the need for validation.
