The "Savior Complex" is Arrogance
Who do you think you are... the Holy Spirit? 🕊️
We need to talk about the "Savior Complex" that hides in the church. You tell yourself staying with him is "long-suffering" (Galatians 5), but let’s be real: thinking your love can cure a personality disorder isn't faith—it's arrogance.
In this video, I break down why we actually like being the martyr. As long as they are "broken," you get to be the "saint." It feeds your ego to be the stable one. But God already sent a Savior, and it isn't you.
Based on Proverbs 4:23, your job isn't to fix their heart; it's to guard yours.
👇 Discussion: Be honest: Have you ever stayed in a toxic relationship because being the "healthy one" made you feel superior? Let's confess in the comments.
