191. THIS THING CALLED CHARACTER: Love vs Self-Centredness

In the premiere episode of Season 3, host Olawunmi Brigue delves into the concept of character, focusing specifically on the "God kind of love." She discusses how today's culture, amplified by social media, often prioritises self-preservation and other self-centred "truths." The episode explores love as the foundation of all good character traits, defining what love is not, and emphasising the importance of compassion-driven love. Through scriptural examples, Olawunmi demonstrates how true love involves temporarily sacrificing one’s advantage for the mutual benefit of both the receiver and the giver, inspiring listeners to align their actions with Biblically-rooted teachings.00:00 Welcome to Season Three!00:43 Introducing the Theme: Character00:58 Why Focus on Character?01:48 The Influence of Social Media on Character05:51 Love vs. Self-Centeredness06:06 Defining Love: What It Is and Isn't19:45 The God Kind of Love27:47 The Dual Impact of Godly Love28:28 Understanding True Compassion31:49 The Temporary Pain of Sacrifice35:59 The Story of Ruth: A Lesson in Love48:25 Forgiveness as an Act of Love52:25 Serving Through Character and Prayer55:30 Conclusion: The Foundation of CharacterOlawunmi Brigue is a certified executive and transformational life coach, and the founder of Luminous membership, a Personal & Spiritual Growth Hub for women who desire to build BOTH a highflying career and a wholesome family without sacrificing their wellbeing or personal fulfilment.
