"The False Self" vs. "The True Self"

Jesus said that in order to follow his Way of Life, we must deny our very self. What did he mean by that, and how do we go about doing that?
Watch as Rev. Salvatore Sapienza (pastor of Douglas United Church of Christ in Saugatuck/Douglas, Michigan) talks about how identifying "the false self" can lead to the discovery of "the authentic self."
In this Progressive Christian message, Pastor Sal shares wisdom from Jesus, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, Polly Moore, and John of the Cross.

This is awesome. Absolutely Pastor Sal is on spot. All my life I just knew deep down since I was a kid and knew I was different in my sexuality that so much of my life in family and school environment didn’t mesh with how I felt and believed about religion and values. I always felt a force present within myself to always go against anyone and any ideal that denied or repressed me in any way. But because I didn’t have any validation in my ways I fell victim to all of it. Grew up codependent with many issues. But now I found this church and Pastor Sal and I am enlightened again but in my spiritual beliefs. Wow !! I’m speechless and enlightened in another Christ like way. Thank you Pastor Sal. ❤️👏🏻💪🏻🙏🏻
