The Problem of Authority

from Bridging the Ideal and the Real Hosted by J. Pittman McGehee, D.D.

This talk was given at Bridget’s Place by J. Pittman McGehee, D.D. on March 5, 2005. Pittman describes our ego’s evolutionary development starting from childhood to becoming an adult. Our ability to make choices in the beginning is shaped by our parents, surrogate parents, church, government, society, etc. He emphasizes the struggle everyone faces to become ourselves not what everyone expects of us. This talk given in 2005 is helpful to guide us in our ability to exercise our freedom to choose in the present day when we are pressed to make choices that go contrary to what society expects of us. He describes the importance and spiritual necessity of becoming our own authority.
