Is Curiosity an Antidote to Narcissism?

Ever deal with narcissistic, arrogant, immature, or controlling people? If you asked others, would (could?) they be honest enough to say if that's how they experienced you?

Jesus dealt with these individuals, and through his exchanges with them, we can see their traits and tactics.

Finishing our look at the 7th chapter of John's gospel, we'll unpack:

  • how leaders use fear to control others when they operate from fear;
  • The misuse of education;
  • The danger in being lazy about examining one's beliefs;
  • three marks of a "toxic" person.

We'll also see how curiosity that's a part of humility is a powerful antidote to narcissistic thinking.
