What if the hardest person to love… is yourself?
In today’s episode of The Lifeline Morning Show Podcast, we tackle a truth that Christian culture doesn’t always talk about: God calls you worthy, chosen, and loved — even when you struggle to believe it.
✨ Sharon Salzberg’s words remind us: “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”
And Jesus backs it up — “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
But here’s the problem: if you don’t know how to love yourself, it’s hard to fully love anyone else.
Inside this episode, Steven takes you deep into:
✅ Why self-love isn’t pride, but alignment with God’s truth.
✅ How to silence the critic in your head and speak life over yourself.
✅ A kid-friendly moment on embracing awkward changes (yes, even body odor & cracking voices!).
✅ A powerful reminder that your worth isn’t measured by someone else’s ruler, but by the cross.
💡 This one’s personal, practical, and packed with hope — the kind you’ll want to share with a friend who needs encouragement today.
👉 Challenge for today: What’s one aspect of yourself you can appreciate as God’s masterpiece? DM Steven or share your story — it just might be featured on tomorrow’s show.
