Episode 57: Is Your "SELFLESSNESS" Actually Self-NEGLECT? Warning Signs & Practical Tips

In cultures where selflessness and sacrifice are often glorified, it's easy to confuse them with their unhealthy look-a-like: self-neglect.

Join us in this episode as we delve into:

  • The nuances and differences between selflessness vs. self-neglect and how we often see this show up in our Asian American Christian contexts

  • Why it's so common for Christians to overlook this difference

  • What makes us gravitate towards self-neglect without even knowing it

  • What it means to genuinely help and serve others WITHOUT neglecting, abandoning, or losing ourselves

  • The common signs of self-neglect to watch out for (and why it's dangerous)

  • How Jesus models how to practically live out true, biblical, healthy selflessness

We explore all of this and more based on Scriptural insights, our own struggles and stories, and practical tips you can apply in your own life.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the demands of serving others or struggled to prioritize your own needs without guilt - this episode is for you.

We pray this conversation helps you set boundaries that honor and protect your well-being, while better understanding God's heart for you to healthily love and serve others.
