He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Have you ever had your views challenged? It may be healthy to go on Pinecreek, Holy Koolaid (Thomas Westbrook), Cosmic Skeptic (Alex O'Connor), MythVision (Derek Lambert and Dr. Robert M Price), Dogma Debate (David Smalley), etc to see if your views make sense? Have you ever read a book that challenges the validity of the Bible? If you have not then how do you know if it's really true? Do you find it strange that the same rationale you use to claim the bible is true is also used by all other religions (personal experience, faith, my holy book tells me so)?

Correct. It's not "we're broken because we don't love ourselves". It's "we don't love ourselves because we're broken". The only way to restore our brokenness and in the process our godly relationship with ourselves is Jesus Christ.
I love that you stand firm in Scripture without sugar coating the gospel: it’s so easy to give in to what culture says is good and true and beautiful, but we need to be confident in what is true based on the Lord
Oh my days! I was just talking about this with someone on my IG. I’m looking forward to hearing your views😊🙏🏾 addition: I completely agree with your views! Self love in this modern world is all about pleasing ourselves and that’s in great conflict with being a true Christian. Biblical self love is about caring for ourselves, caring about the bodies that’s the Holy Spirit dwells in. What we drink, eat, what we feed ourselves spiritually and etc. Those things are the result of good and Biblically inspired self love..
Congratulations on your engagement!!!! 😍❤️ It's amazing to see how much you've grown over the years. You're wise and that's because you are connected to the true Vine who is Christ. Love you sister in Christ.
Because I am so early, I just wanted to say that you are such an inspiration to me! You helped me with your video abnout break ups :D I started my to preach on tiktok (my country is very atheist so its fun) and I really aspire to be lik you (ofc like jesus but also like you i hope you get it lol) Because you explain everything so well and I agree with every word...So thank you, be blessed
Becca, I honour the gift of teaching that you have. You explain things so clearly and so well. Your points are awesome and fascinating!! Thank you for being so true to the scriptures!
Becca!! This is absolutely amazing. Thank you so so much for spreading the word! A year ago I found your channel through your lukewarm Christianity video. This really opened my eyes and allowed me to let the Holy Spirit in. Thank you so much for being such an amazing vessel for the Holy Spirit!!
Awesome! Congrats! Quickly! Jesus is at the door! The Kingdom is at hand! We are in the days of Noah and it’s starting to rain! The ark doors are CLOSING! Sharing the GOSPEL TRUTH 💕
It’s important you learn biblical love then. Self love is not biblical, now one verse commands to love ourselves. We already love ourselves which leads to our sinful ways.
Self-love is terrible, and I have had this on my mind for a very long time and often tell my Dad about how much I hate the self-love movement of this fallen world. Self-love is almost always demonic, especially in the areas of self-confidence and self-empowerment. Sister in Christ, I mean this with all my heart, I thought this was one of the best videos I have seen this year
Having an almost empty bottle beside myself while I watch this, God gave me an illustration differentiating between self-love and self-denial: Self-love = Everyone is trying to keep their own bottles full, but no one is going to the faucet. Everyone is therefore competing with each other, and even if they come to a compromise and try to distribute the water evenly, nobody is full. Self-denial = Where one bottle, the Christian, keeps pouring out for the others. Of course the bottle will soon run empty, but God obviously won't leave it like that. In fact, God's pouring grace is so infinitely abundant, that it's like a faucet with unlimited supply of water gushing and overfilling said bottle, that the person holding it is shouting for someone to bring the other bottles because water is just spilling everywhere! In other words, God is no mere curious spectator, calling over the angels and pointing, "Hey, look at that guy! See how long will he last as he denies himself!" That would have been a salvation based on our works. No, for what He commanded us to do, He will provide abundantly. I think Malachi 3:10 shares a similar idea to this, in the context of tithing. Also, Matthew 6:33. Let me know your thoughts.
Your perspective here is interesting. From this perspective, it sort of can be taken to mean that while self-care is a good thing, it only goes so far. Since our brokenness is a deep-seeded soul-issue - at best, self-care can only address the symptoms of our brokenness, but not actually fix it. For instance, if our home is dirty and stinky, we can buy all the Febreze we want to make it smell good, but that only addresses a symptom. The issue won't go away unless we actually take the time to clean our house. Until then, if we only spray Febreze everyday, we'll just have a dirty house that smells good.
How did you learn so much theology? Did you ever study like Christian studies in college or anything or just your own personal study? I’m hungry to be like that and know and learn and grow more in the knowledge/understanding of scripture and God and my relationship with Him.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm so thankful God teached me this because for a while I believed that all self love was sinful and neglected rest and my relationship with God took a big toll. I agree on all the points you made about self love, and how we all naturally love ourselves because of our flesh, and while it isn't inherently wrong, it can cause us to become selfish and sinful which contradicts what God wants of us. I also struggled with legalism and still do a bit and I'd be so happy if you could maybe do a short video on that because it would help so many Christians and clear up so much confusion.
It was so different turn around with me. I was very selfless to the extreme, bur God told me, "i know you love others, but you need to love yourself too."
YES, this reminds me of how the Wiccan teach you to love yourself above all and that's a satanic occult... but Christ says to serve, to love others as yourself We are created to be filled by Him and walk with Him and we can only do that by denying our flesh...Ultimately become full of peace and love and holy.
I am extremely depressed. My looks and personality are constantly causing me sadness. I detest myself. I go to church, do extra group Bible studies, teach Bible class, serve, and do all the Christian things. I pray, fast, repeat, and spend as much time as possible with God in the scripture (outside of church services) as I possibly can but I just... I'm conflicted. You, my parents, friends, and spiritual leaders have literally NO idea how conflicting and contradicting this makes someone with a depressed mind feel. No idea. All I can ask for is prayers.
This is an extremely powerful message. I've been a fan of your ministry for 5 years and has helped me grow a lot in my walk with God. Many blessing Becca and congratulations on your engagement 😊😊
Amen! 🙌 Jesus loves us more than we could ever love ourselves, so we should deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Him. Also, congrats on getting engaged!!
WOW, this thought that came to my mind, while I'm only 3 and a half minutes into the video! ... You were mentioning 4 relationships that God created, and the order you said them: Between me and God, Between me and others, Between me and myself, and Between me and creation. I think that's literally SO BACKWARDS from what the unsaved world wants to promote: Me and creation (reminds me of the verse about worshiping the creature more than the Creator, I think it's in Romans 1 - I think that chapter (starting with vs 18) speaks SO MUCH about this world in our day!), me and myself maybe me and others (but selfishly), And oh no, that leaves no room for God. Oh well .... (But they're going to be really sorry.) Also a song my church used to sing when I was a child (1980s) comes to mind... The first line is: Jesus and others and you, what a wonderful way to spell JOY! 💗 Love your videos as always, and congratulations on the engagement!!
Great video! I’m new to ur channel & I really like ur content. Very biblically sound and makes sense. I battled with the “just love yourself” idea & I can say it never worked or lasted. I’ve always had the notion that I don’t have to love myself in order to love others even though I don’t recall anyone ever saying that to me. It’s just something built-in. I was always a little sceptical of the world telling me that I have to love myself or I couldn’t truest love others. Now I know that I can love others because He first loved me. His love gives me the power and strength to pay His love forward. I am free from the notion of self-love, self-worth, self-anything because He is greater. 🙌🏼😇 For that I am blessed, as are you. 💞 ✝️Christ is our identity not ‘the Self’
SPEAK GIRL! I BEEN WANTING TO PEN DOWN ABOUT THIS AND THEN BLOG IT. CUZ IT DON'T WORK WITH MY SPIRIT WHEN I HEAR SELF LOVE IS A SOLUTION. EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY HOW I UNDERSTOOD JESUS WORDS ON LOVE OTHERS LIKE U LOVE YOURSELF. CUZ JESUS WAS INDEED SAYING IT KNOWING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE SELFISH WAYS. SO HOW TO LOVE OTHERS? LIKE U LOVE YOURSELF ALREADY. HOW? DON'T COVET UR NEIGHBORS WIFE CUZ U WOULD NOT ALLOW UR WIFE TO BE. HOW? IF U HUNGRY YOU FEED YOUR SELF, SO FEED OTHERS. U DON'T CURSE YOURSELF WHEN YOU FAIL. SO SAME. WAY BE FORGIVING. SO HE WAS INDEED GIVING US A RELATABLE GUIDELINE HOW TO LOVE. AND THAT'S JUST LIKE U ALREADY LOVE URSLF. I AM TIRED HEARING PEOPLE USE IT TOTALLY OUT OF CONTEXT . YOU SPOKE THE TRUTH. FINALLY SOMEONE.
We should love who God has made us to be. Perfectly and in his image. While we were made perfectly, (Physically and personality wise) we were born into a world of sin, and born sinful. So we must deny our flesh inside and embrace our self outside wise.
I feel like the thesis here would be something along the lines of: Self love only used as the daily justification and intrinsic self value/motivation is toxic because it perpetuates the idea that your worth is purely based on humanistic elements solely alone as opposed to faith and your relationship with God, yourself, and others. Self love in moderation not used as a justification for holistic care should be complimentary in the sense you might be using tangible goods/services/experiences to enrich yourself but never define yourself let alone the inherent worth/purity of one's self.
I don't like the concept of self love, Because I think things should be processes naturally, if we are broken then we are broken. If we had low self esteem then so be it.

Thank you so much for this video--it's really great! I love that you distinguished simply getting rest/self care from self love. When I tell people self love is dangerous, they get upset because they think I believe you shouldn't take care of yourself. This is a great point that I can bring up now!
No where in the Bible does it command to love yourself. You do not hate yourself. No one hates their own body: Ephesians 5:29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church Love is a choice not a feeling. You choose to love yourself everyday you feed yourself, care for yourself, and do the things you believe will bring you happiness. We love ourselves too much. Our problem is self esteem. Self esteem is how we FEEL about ourselves. We fix this problem by placing our identity in Christ. We are who God says we are, our identity is in Him. It’s no longer self esteem or confidence .. instead it’s God esteem and Godfidence. Made up words but you get the point. God bless
I agree with you. Also realized I that when you let God's love into your heart you end up loving yourself because you finally see yourself the way God sees you.
When I mean loving yourself I don't mean like self love but rather that I stop criticizing myself and start believing that I'm fearfully and wonderfully made
Thank-you for this honest truth. It always bothered me when this phrase , " loving yourself" is so freely mouthed without any explanation as to what is meant, especially when said in a Christian context where it might not belong. In my book " The Song of Ascents", Encouragements from Psalms 124-136 I at least got the opportunity to express "loving yourself" in a Christian context as the Holy Spirit , teacher, allowed me to articulate the subject..
@@ShepherdMinistry You are correct. However our natures unless fully given over to Our Lord Jesus Christ ,"love ourselves" in lifestyles that cater to self. The Word always steers us differently. towards the opposite of denying oneself, of prioritizing one's affections away from loving this world and the things we attach to because of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. This is the saving of one's life at the expense of losing it. Christ taught the loosing of one's life , the denial of one's self to keep it for eternal life. It's all motivated by the prioritizing of love . Either love the world or love the Father. Yet because Jesus first loved us we are already motivated and directed to follow the Savior His Way which is the way of the cross.. Yes I always questioned this statement. I touch on it in my book.
This 20min god thought me some priorities that I should keep.. l acknowledge myself to God!! It's kind remains a verse JOHN 3:29-31 ..Thanks for sharing Becca!!

In my book " The Song of Ascents", Encouragements from Psalms 124-136 I at least got the opportunity to express "loving yourself" in a Christian context as the Holy Spirit , teacher, allowed me to articulate the subject..
No where in the Bible does it command to love yourself.
@@ShepherdMinistry You are correct. However our natures unless fully given over to Our Lord Jesus Christ ,"love ourselves" in lifestyles that cater to self. The Word always steers us differently. towards the opposite of denying oneself, of prioritizing one's affections away from loving this world and the things we attach to because of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. This is the saving of one's life at the expense of losing it. Christ taught the loosing of one's life , the denial of one's self to keep it for eternal life. It's all motivated by the prioritizing of love . Either love the world or love the Father. Yet because Jesus first loved us we are already motivated and directed to follow the Savior His Way which is the way of the cross.. Yes I always questioned this statement. I touch on it in my book.
Yipppeeee
