How can you navigate the complex interplay between narcissism and money, particularly within a church setting? This episode of Grace and the Shadows promises to take you on a fascinating journey of spiritual self-discovery. With Dr Marla and Dr Jonathan Behler as your guides, we delve into the dark side of narcissism, examining its manipulative tendencies, and the role of money as a tool for control and self-glorification.
We don't stop there. As we navigate this nuanced topic, we also offer you practical tips to guard yourself against the influences of narcissism - setting boundaries, documenting transactions, avoiding joint financing, and seeking legal advice are just a few of the protective measures. In the second half, we journey through the Bible, examining 2 Timothy 3:2-9 to explore the Biblical perspective of narcissism. Listen in as we decode how certain individuals may use their financial contributions and appearances within the church to exert dominance. This episode isn't just about understanding the phenomenon of narcissism, it's about equipping yourself to navigate the complexities it brings. Whether you're in a relationship with a narcissist, or simply seeking to understand, join us as we unveil the unseen side of narcissism and money.
