Episode 66 – Sharon Hodde Miller

Sharon Hodde Miller joins me for episode #66 to talk about why we love to be liked and why God Calls us to more. The church has deemed NICENESS a virtue and, ultimately allowed it to become an idol. In place of real, Christ-like courage, kindness, conviction and discipline, many people fall into the traps of people-pleasing, popularity contests and manufactured joy in exchange for likeability. This episode will challenge your understanding of the false virtue, and help you start practicing true kindness, honesty, courage and joy.
