Our Need for Affirmation

Over the past few episodes, we’ve been talking about the mechanism of offense. How insecurity creates idols and leads us into imitation. That imitation leaves us more insecure and desperate for affirmation. In today’s episode, we’re taking a look at why our culture is so desperate for affirmation and the temptation the church faces to offer grace as a cheap form of affirmation. We’re continuing our conversation on the book A Sharp Compassion.
