| 0:00.0 | Alright, here we are. Welcome to the Friday livestream. This is a Q&A where I answer your |
| 0:09.8 | questions about Jesus, God, the Bible, Christianity, all of those sorts of things. Today's first |
| 0:15.3 | question is going to be about self-loathing. I think this is not a fun topic, but it's |
| 0:22.7 | a really interesting topic for a number of reasons. Oh, let me dig up my first question. |
| 0:29.1 | Where did I put it? Oh, I'm going to load myself so much for this. Here it is. No. Here it is. |
| 0:40.4 | No. No. No. It's always action-packed here on Bible thinker. I don't know, Sarah, maybe |
| 0:51.5 | you can send me the question I would all read it word for word. But here's the deal. The |
| 0:57.2 | question is about self-loathing versus self-love. We have a certain amount of self-loathing |
| 1:01.4 | going on in our lives. We have a certain amount of self-love. We could say going on in |

| 1:22.9 | that talk about that. Then we'll talk about the self-loathing versus which is going to |
| 1:29.2 | be disappointing to you. I'll just tell you upfront. But here we go. This is the self-love |
| 1:37.3 | versus Philippians 2, 3. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count |
| 1:45.5 | others more significant than yourselves. I mean, this is super extreme. A lot of our |
| 1:50.9 | culture would think this is actually too extreme. This is too much. We shouldn't do this. |
| 1:56.3 | But this is what scripture actually calls us to as far as selflessness. Don't do anything |
| 2:02.3 | out of selfish ambition. It doesn't mean you can't have ambitions. You want ambitions as |
| 2:06.0 | a Christian. Inbitions good. If it's ambition for good things, not selfish ambition for |
| 2:10.4 | the kingdom of God, ambition for others to be blessed and helped, ambition for godly |
| 2:15.0 | things. Consider others more significant, count them more significant than yourselves. Does |
