01. Why do we degrade ourselves for the sake of others?

We all do it from time to time. Some of us more often than not.To connect to other people in their imperfection and pain, we decide it's better to bring ourselves down to their level instead of hearing them and empathizing with them without degrading ourselves in the process.Why do we do this? And what does Jesus show us as the example for how to live in confidence and not in insecurity?Priscilla and I spend this very first episode of the Presence + Poettry Podcast talking all about it. The Presence + Poettry Podcast is Priscilla and my (Jacob) attempt to share our insights, sarcasm, hope, and chaos as we encounter God's active presence in our everyday lives. Because if we are to reconstruct a life and faith that feels alive again, we must build it around the presence of God.
