Today, we are challenging the idea that "self-help" is a negative concept within Christianity. While our character should be rooted in becoming Christ-like, it is also important for believers to seek excellence and self-improvement.If a concept isn't directly from the Bible, should it be ignored? Even Jesus used real-world examples in his teachings, demonstrating that wisdom can be found outside of scripture to help us live biblically.Self-improvement materials should not become "gospel" or replace the Word of God, but should be filtered through a biblical worldview. Don't forget learning from others is important, even those you may disagree with, as it's a sign of spiritual maturity and security in your relationship with God. The goal is to use all available wisdom to glorify God and to be "good" at what we do, just as the biblical figure Daniel was known for his excellence. This approach should lead to lives that are visibly improved, not just spiritually, but in every area, from health and finances to work ethic, so that others can see that faith truly works.#podcast #christianpodcast
