Death to the Ego: Die to Self, Live for Christ

00:00

Jesus never called us to build our lives around ourselves-He called us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him.

In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to die to the ego and live a life that reflects Christ. What happens when we stop asking, “How do I protect my image, prove myself, stay in control, or get what I want?” and start asking, “Does my life look like Jesus?”

Dying to self doesn’t mean losing who God created you to be. It means surrendering the pride, validation, control, comparison, and self-centeredness that can keep us from becoming who He called us to be. Sometimes following Jesus means allowing an old version of ourselves to die so that our character, choices, relationships, and lives can point back to Him.

Less of me. More of Him.
