The Importance of Christian Ego

Shawn Sommerkamp • Jun 15, 2021
We always hear it said that ego is a bad thing, or perhaps we say "a big ego is bad".  Best selling books have been recently written suggesting that ego is the enemy. 

What if I told you that was not at all the case.  Truth is, the word ego is actually found all throughout the Bible and happens to be part of one of the most important things Jesus ever said.

Watch this video to find out how we can all avoid being judgy in the workplace.

Many Christians have a tough time pinpointing exactly what it means to worship God. Sometimes we reference our Sunday morning music ministry or those times we pray in a humble poisition.
