- What happens when someone who has depended on acceptance from others loses that approval? Former pastor Jerry DeWitt shares his journey of learning to go through rejection and disapproval and come out the other side smiling.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
thank you Mr. DeWitt
I find my confidence in knowing the Lord. He says so many good things to us in the Bible.
Where's the sound???
Thats why I like my religion Islam so much, because at the very center of it lies the concept of "ikhlas" which is do every good for sake of pleasing your Creator. Other people are participants of the test just like you. "Riya" is the act of doing something for public approval and is highly warned against. There were people who went to extreme and publicly humiliated themselves to make sure that everyone thinks bad of them so that they are completely free of "Riya". That is extreme of course, our Prophet never advised such act. But is shows you how central is that concept to Islam. At the same time in order to please your Creator you should be as much helpful to his creation and show mercy as you can. But your intention is only pleasing the Creator. Quran 76:8-9 "And they give food, out of their love for Him (Allah), to the needy, and the orphan, and the captive, Saying to them, “We feed you only for the sake of Allah; we have no intention of (receiving) either a return from you or thanks. " Peace! ;-)
Christianity is the same - it's not about people pleasing. Jesus was proof of that.
This is an old reply, but any future viewer might appreciate a conflicting view on this. People pleasing the creator as said by your religious leaders. Is people pleasing to a similar extent. Whenever great things happen in life, that is the creator's approval as you see, and whenever bad things happen, surely you aren't being good enough. That is the definition of people pleasing.
And that is leaving out people pleasing the also people pleasing family members, friends and pastors/etc which are also hard to break away this habit from.
It's like a hierarchy of people pleasers Creator > Religious Leaders > Family/Friends > You
Instead of doing everything for a "creator" (Name your God here). Why not just do it because you're a good and decent human being that see's other human beings in need? Why put anything more into it than it's what you would want someone to do for you?
No audio still 30k views!!! 😮😮
Someone posted on my timeline a picture that said "oh youre a people pleaser? Name 3 people that are pleased by you"
And i felt so attacked xD
People pleaser here. Listening you make me sad
Care to add the closed captions here, please? There are million and million of the whole audience who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, People lost the ability to hear included our Veterans who lost their hearing ability at wars so be considerate and kindness to add the closed captions on this video, not only this there are other videos because of lack of accessibility of receiving information through reading subtitles, hmm. Thanks.
SERIOUS AUDO ISSUES!!!!

diva1675 No you don't.

Blue wasn't fixed yesterday. I had to use headphones to listen. I wanted to let you know so you can listen too. But if you can heard it, cheers to you my friend.
diva1675 I posted about the sound in 2014. I brought it to Jerry's attention. I hope it is fixed for everyone by now.
Thought it was just me.
SHAME. HOW CAN U UPLOAD A VIDEO WITH SERIOUS AUDIO ISSUES????
No sound
This is really good, thanks Mr. DeWitt.
Sound????!!!
Not sure if I am feeling right, I am unable to sense his authenticity in his speech, it came across as structured motivational talk but whether the speech coming from his inner self, I am not so sure.
Bro there's no sound
@@onlyhuman5669 im getting spund
Very good speech
And they had to make the sound blurred lol
This guy baptized me when he was a pastor
lol thats nice
Sound issues.
Too bad.
Not really sure what that was. A bunch of platitudes. It’s a TED talk though....
You can tell he used to be a Bible-belt pastor - it's cringe-worthy. He says, "I unlearned the need for public approval, in favour of facts," then stands on stage cracking 'nekkid' jokes and failing to offer anything but subjective experience and opinion.
You’re a bum why do you choose to be so rude. Does it matter what he used to be, it’s about what he is now and that’s all
Wtf sound
I don’t know your story sir but I guess you are a former preacher. That six minute speech sounded nice but not Christ centered at all.
Sad story. There is no true life outside of Christ.
Randy Pacchioli It is sad if you actually believe that.
Steven Haughey I would be foolish if I didn't.
Sure
Randy Pacchioli You are foolish because you do.
