Disease Introspection - Leanne Payn
Jan 24, 2001 • Leanne Payne
The sermon explores the detrimental effects of introspection, arguing that excessive self-analysis paralyzes creativity and prevents genuine connection with reality and God. Drawing on C.S. Lewis and the insights of Dr. Clyde Kilby, it emphasizes the importance of shifting focus outward, embracing intuition alongside reason, and cultivating a love for the world beyond oneself. The message underscores that true understanding and healing arise not from inward scrutiny, but from actively engaging with and loving the external world, ultimately leading to a more vibrant and fulfilling existence, free from the destructive cycle of self-analysis and the pursuit of fleeting experiences.
