Welcome to Biblical Perspectives on Narcissism.
This blog began with one simple burden: to understand pride, self-exaltation, and relational destruction in light of God’s Word. Over time, it has grown into a deeper journey—one that traces how God diagnoses the problem of the proud heart and offers a path toward healing and humility.
The Bible has always spoken about what modern psychology calls narcissism. Scripture calls it insolent pride—a heart that refuses correction, seeks its own glory, and resists the gentle authority of God. From Pharaoh to the Pharisees, from Haman to Herod, pride has always been at the root of ruin. Yet in every generation, God continues to oppose the proud and give grace to the humble.
This blog is not about labeling people. It’s about learning God’s ways—how He humbles the proud, lifts up the lowly, and teaches His children to reflect His character rather than our own image. Each post explores a different angle of that truth—sometimes from Scripture, sometimes from life, and often from hard-won lessons in relationships where pride collides with grace.
The journey flows out of what I explored in The First Will Be Last: that God’s kingdom reverses everything we think we know about greatness. The proud rise only to fall. The humble fall only to rise. In that reversal, we see both the justice and the mercy of God at work.
Whether you are studying narcissism biblically, walking through a painful relationship, or confronting your own pride before God, my hope is that you find here both truth that convicts and grace that restores.
