Episode 132. The Lie of Best-Selfism
Manage episode 503958084 series 2417200
Content provided by Hillary Morgan Ferrer & Amy Davison, Hillary Morgan Ferrer, and Amy Davison. All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Hillary Morgan Ferrer & Amy Davison, Hillary Morgan Ferrer, and Amy Davison or their podcast platform partner. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://podcastplayer.com/legal.
This episode tackles the cultural lie of Best-Selfism — the belief that personal happiness and fulfillment should be the highest priorities in life, often at the expense of faith and family. Host Amy Davison argues that this ideology, endorsed by celebrities like Tom Brady and various influencers, is a destructive blend of emotionalism, self-help, and idol worship. Contrasting this worldview, they uplift Scotty Scheffler’s Christ-centered perspective, where faith and family take precedence over personal or professional success. The episode emphasizes the biblical model of self-denial, sacrificial love, and discipleship within the home.
Main Points Covered
- Definition and Dangers of Best Selfism
- Examples in Culture
- Biblical Response to Best Selfism
- Spiritual and Cultural Consequences
- How to Combat the Lie of Best-Selfism
