4 Levels of Biblical Self-Awareness that Everyone Needs to Develop

This episode explains biblical self-awareness—a God-centered understanding of ourselves. With Mark 12:30 as the foundation, we learn how to develop spiritual, social, emotional, and intellectual awareness. Understanding ourselves on these four levels empowers us to grow to our full potential. This episode also teaches us how to avoid the pitfalls of unhealthy self-awareness, such as self-consciousness and self-sabotage, which hinder growth.

If you’ve ever struggled with a negative view of yourself, this episode is for you!

Reflection questions

• What emotions consume you most often?
• What thoughts have been on your mind the most recently? Why?
• Who do you admire? And why?
• Are there ways you sabotage yourself from growing?
• Are you aware of the healthy and unhealthy “selfs” in your life?
