The pastor and founder of Zoe Church reveals the Church’s role in the rising levels of narcissism today and the Bible’s countercultural call to humility.
Popular author, speaker, and pastor of Zoe Church in Los Angeles, Chad Veach tackles one of the Christian’s greatest foes: an obsession with self. Ego often sneaks up on us in varying forms of narcissism, subtly turning so much of our attention to our needs and desires that we fail to recognize other people’s. 
A self-proclaimed recovering narcissist, Veach has learned the power of humility. He wants to destigmatize the humility journey by normalizing the need for regular ego checks. A quick reset in attitude in any situation will create a delicate balance between self-denial and self-absorption.     
Amongst the alarming and increasing levels of narcissism in society and the Christian church today, Veach delivers a passionate call for making a simple but fundamental shift in perspective that cultivates humility.

      “God-inspired humility is the road to everything you really need” in life, according to this energetic guide from pastor Veach (Help! I Work With People). Dismantling misconceptions about humility—that it involves self-effacement or shame—he contends that thinking less about oneself can improve relationships, inspire personal growth, and facilitate a closer relationship with God. Veach advises readers to identify their prideful moments (“red flags” include dominating converations or judging others quickly) and adopt a “humility mindset” by “becoming aware of your ego and then asking yourself, ‘How would humility view the situation I’m in right now?’ ” (Instead of “expecting your spouse to align to your ideas” during an argument, for example, one can “adopt a humility mindset and work together to find a third option.”) Veach makes a persuasive case that humility is a natural outgrowth of religious devotion—“there are eight billion people out there who matter deeply to God, so they should matter to you”—though the mechanics of achieving such a mindset are less clear, seeming to rely purely on willpower and good intentions. Believers will be inspired to live a more service-oriented life, even if they’re not quite sure how to get there.
