Coffee With Phil
CWP. 47. Put Aside Selfishness
EPISODE DESCRIPTION
In this episode of "Coffee with Phil," join Phil as he delves into the challenging theme of putting aside selfishness. Phil starts by acknowledging the difficulties of the world we live in and how our natural instincts, rooted in our reptilian brain, often drive us towards self-preservation. Through a personal story and introspection, Phil confronts his own selfishness and invites listeners to do the same.
Phil recounts a recent encounter with an organization aimed at helping church employees find affordable housing. While initially considering his own needs, he realized the importance of addressing selfishness and redirecting focus towards helping those truly in need.
In a thought-provoking discussion, Phil explores reasons we may struggle to trust God, from unmet expectations to holding onto past failures and fears. He emphasizes the need to prioritize loving others, drawing from biblical references that illustrate the significance of sacrificial love. Phil encourages listeners to face their weaknesses, trust God, and choose to love and serve others selflessly, ultimately guiding them towards a life marked by diminished selfishness and greater compassion.
Join Phil on this reflective journey towards putting aside selfishness and embracing a life of genuine love and service.
