What does the Bible say about narcissistic behavior? Can a narcissistic person truly change? In this powerful episode of God’s Principles for Healthy Relationships Season 2, Martin and Debbie Raj explore the biblical roots of narcissism, self centeredness, pride, control, insecurity, and emotional manipulation through the lens of Scripture. Using the story of King Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel, this episode reveals how pride and self glorification can destroy relationships — and how God’s transforming power can bring healing, humility, and restoration. In today’s social media culture, narcissistic traits are becoming more common in marriages, friendships, families, and even church environments. But God’s Word offers hope, freedom, and practical guidance for developing healthy, Christ centered relationships built on humility, respect, servant leadership, and genuine love.
