Episode Summary

Pastor Tania explains what Me-ology Theology is and helps us in a practical and down to earth way to recognize it in our everyday interactions i.e. some of those the selfish habits we pick up when we are single. She also describes the triggers and root causes, which for many can be rooted in trauma. She admits that Me-ology Theology is all around us, particularly, in our culture as everything around us sells the idea of being centered on self and self-preservation.
