214 - Seeing People Through the Eyes of Jesus, Including Yourself (Chip Judd Part 2)

Pastor and counselor Chip Judd returns with Jeff Leinberger, Ciarrah Lindsay, Lynne Story, and Joey Svendsen, continuing last week's conversation on Shades of Grace: Seeing People Through the Eyes of Jesus, Starting With Yourself.This week: self-love. What it actually looks like to love yourself, why it feels awkward even to try, and how ultimate surrender to God's sovereignty is really self-acceptance — easier said than done, since, as Chip puts it, the hardest person you'll ever have to learn to love is you. He walks through how to retrain your soul — one step is resting in God's love instead of chasing from people what only God can give. Chip also talks about the power of judgment-free environments that are also full of grace and truth, and Jeff, Ciarrah, and Joey turn that lens on Seacoast's own staff culture.Along the way, Joey shares a spiritual encounter he had with a homeless man, and the group gets into why Christians being "angry at sinners" doesn't add up.Get the first chapter of Chip’s new book, Shades of Grace + be the first to get access when it releases by subscribing to his e-mail list. Chip Judd | Website | YouTube | Instagram Hosts   Jeff Leinberger | Ciarrah Lindsay | Lynne Stroy | Joey Svendsen   Seacoast Podcast is now on InstagramBe a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024. We'd love to hear from you.  E-mail Joey HERE. Producer/Editor/host: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: Katelyn Vandiver
