your main character syndrome is at war with God.
main character syndrome... we’ve all been there. the world tells us to put ourselves first, chase our truth, and make everything about us. but let’s be real: when we make ourselves the centre of the universe, we’re at war with God.
in this episode, I talk about how self-glorification (aka main character syndrome) directly opposes God’s purpose for our lives. i unpack why striving for control, validation, and self-exaltation doesn’t lead to freedom but to bondage.
*what i talk about:*
✨ what main character syndrome is and how it wars against God’s authority
✨ why putting yourself above God leads to spiritual emptiness
✨ the dangers of pride and self-glorification (spoiler: it never ends well)
✨ how to let go of control, surrender daily, and trust God fully
✨ the freedom, peace, and joy that come from living a life centred on Christ
*scriptures i mention:*
_john 3:30_ – "He must become greater; i must become less."
_matthew 6:33_ – "but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
_proverbs 16:18_ – "pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
_luke 9:23_ – "if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."
_philippians 2:3-4_ – "do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
