Summary
Self-Help? Self-Improvement? Self-Image? More like self-righteousness! Even well-intentioned Christian men can slide into a self-centered mentality that focuses on improvement in your own strength. In this week's expert interview, Jim Ramos is joined by bestselling author Ryan Wekenman to help you learn practical ways to combat the "me-first" mentality that is leaking even into Christian circles. It's time to uproot the obsession with self-improvement, self-image, and self-righteousness and put God back in the center of your life.
