Ordained minister Dennis Hall and Justin Bohner, Assistant Pastor, First Baptist Church, Highlands, North Carolina discuss the phenomena of selfies, which is "a photo of yourself that you take, typically with a smart phone or WebCam, and usually put on social media." There are over 92 million selfies taken every day. It seems like everyone is taking selfies and sharing them on social media. However, more and more studies are linking selfies to narcissism. Narcissism is a personality trait of self-centeredness where a person has an excessive interest in one's physical appearance and image. One of the main reasons that people take selfies and post them on social media is attention-getting. We are becoming a nation of narcissists where people are displaying a hunger for appreciation and admiration and a desire to be the center of attention. In Philippians 2:3-4, believers are admonished to give up their pride and walk in humility. These pastors conclude this podcast by quoting 2 Chronicles 7:14 – "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
