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 CoveredDefinition and Dangers of Best SelfismExamples in CultureBiblical Response to Best SelfismSpiritual and Cultural ConsequencesHow to Combat the Lie of Best-SelfismResources & Organizations MentionedScriptures:Genesis 3 – The original lie and temptationExodus 6:7 – God claiming His people1 Peter 2:9 – Our identity in Christ1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 6:20 – Transformation and honoring God with our bodiesMatthew 16:24 – Deny self and follow ChristMark 12:29-30, Deuteronomy 6:5 – Love God and neighborMatthew 28:19-20 – The Great CommissionDeuteronomy 6:6-9 – Discipleship in the homeColossians 2:8, 3:23-24 – Avoid deceptive philosophy, work for the Lord2 Corinthians 10:5 – Take every thought captive2 Timothy 1:7 – Spirit of power and self-discipline1 Peter 3:15 – Defend faith with gentlenessEphesians 5:21-33, 6:4 – Mutual submission and discipling childrenOther Resources:Scottie Scheffler StatementScheffler's Response to Tom BradyTom Brady's NewsletterOur SponsorsVoetberg Music Academy: When planning your school year this year, one thing you don’t have to worry about is taking your kids to music lessons.
