TODAY'S EPISODE

"Would you rather stand with someone in judgment Jesus stands against, or stand against someone Jesus stands with?" (The answer is neither: Prov. 17:15. But which way do you lean, cater, or find the most comfortable direction to err? Your personality may have more to do with your answer than you think.)

Book recommendation: "Invitation to a Journey."

Four Personality Categories: Two Sides for Each.

Extravert vs. Introvert

Extroverts are energized by people and activity, talk things out, and process externally. But it can be overly so, to the discomfort of others. And the introvert in them will not have healthy private contemplation time.

Introverts prefer solitude and reflection, think more before speaking, and prefer smaller circles of friends. This can be good, but it can also lead to an inability to be social and share the Gospel. And the extravert within them will be unleashed in unhealthy, random ways.

Sensing vs. Intuition

Sensing people like focusing on concrete ideas, facts and details. They deal with present realities and notice specifics. But too much of this can lead to missing the forest for the trees, and their intuitive side will seize on odd, abstract ideas.

Intuitive people are open to possibilities, focus on meaning or the future, are imaginative, and make connections. But too much of this misses things right in front of their faces. And their sensing side may not know how to handle reality.

Thinking vs. Feeling

Thinkers are analyzers and look for consistency. They decide based o reason and principles. This is all good. But they can also be without compassion or awareness of others. They have a feeling side, but it may stay suppressed and leak out in harmful or sinful ways.

Feelers love people and love deeply. They feel for others and enjoy helping and entering into trouble to uplift. But they can do so without thinking and cause damage. Also, their brains want to reason, but because they are not explored, they are incapable of reaching foolish, illogical conclusions.

Judging vs. Perceiving

Judgers can be good. They like plans and closure, decisiveness and firm lines. But they lack adaptability, and often the ability to admit when they are wrong or don't know something. They have a perceptive, exploratory side, but if it is undisciplined, they may become unsure in biased or unsound situations.

Perceivers are open and adaptable. They admit when they don't know things, nor do they think all things are black and white. This is good, until it prevents them from seeing clearly drawn lines and conclusions that need to be reached. They have a judgment side, but it isn't trained, and they randomly pass odd and cruel judgments out of nowhere.
