How Do Introverts Guard Against Selfishness? Instead of seeing introversion as a fatalistic limitation, ask, “How can I make my peculiar personality bent a means of grace to others?” Introverts and extroverts — it seems like a useful designation for personality types. Even if they’re not biblical categories, they lead to an interesting conversation for Christians, and to this question today from a middle-aged man. “Pastor John, how can I tell if I am being introverted in social settings or simply being selfish? Is this something you have ever struggled with? Are there strategies for an introvert to grow in social selflessness, kindness, and love, without feeling a false guilt for not being an extrovert?” Episode 1284: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/how-do-introverts-guard-against-selfishness 1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: “The Secret to Fighting Anxiety” https://youtu.be/ubSnOIjhSzc “Make War on Your Urge to Sulk” https://youtu.be/ior4G8XHt_c Your Weakness Should Drive You to God - Paul Washer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgmrAtsI4KY The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World [$17 Book] https://amzn.to/2V8RrVq Visit us https://thetheology.org
