#87: How to Love Yourself the Way God Loves You
“I used to think, “Love your neighbour instead of yourself,” but that dishonoured both me and the image of God within me. I called it righteousness even though I was hurting someone God loves. Through much practice, I learned how to love myself the way that God has always loved me.”
To celebrate my book launch in a few days, you get a very special edition of The Puddcast this week where my friend Anthony McLean hosts the show and interviews me! We talked about trauma, vulnerability, courage, blackness, the importance of embodiment in our spiritual practice, performance vs identity, challenges Enneagram type 2s tend to experience, and we practiced some self-compassionate meditation together.
You can order my brand new devotional, You Are Enough: Learning to Love Yourself the Way God Loves You, right here.

I briefly referenced the idea of not feeling safe with God. If that’s an issue for you, I talk about it at length in my devotional book, but I also discuss it in this article here.

You’ll find every book or resource I’ve talked about on my Amazon storefront, in Canada, the United States or the United Kingdom.
