S1E35: Self-Absorption, Self-Awareness, and Our Shared Life Together
Description
Are people more self-absorbed these days? Has the proliferation of social media, polarization, and the decline of traditional religious
affiliation made it easier for people to be more self-absorbed and less interested in the possibilities and demands of sharing in community? What about self-awareness? How can the cultivation of self-awareness help us address what seems like a self-absorption
epidemic.
During the first half of the discussion, we reflect on the above questions and try to get a handle on what it’s like to pastor, live,
and have faith in a seemingly more self-absorbed world. The second half of the discussion will focus on exploring our journey to deepening self-awareness and how that practice can offer us a way out of the collective naval gazing.
