Listen "126 - Self-Assertion & Self-Abandonment"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode, we'll look at a great book I'm currently reading, The Covenanted Self, by Walter Brueggemann, and what it actually means to "covenant" with both God and our neighbor. Learning to assert oneself as well as abandon oneself are both an integral part of what it means to relate well with others. And for me, this one insight is beginning to reshape the way I understand not only mankind's relationship with God, but also several elements of dysfunction in my own life.
