How to intimidate (and how to stop)

Have you noticed that some people are more intimidating than others? Why is that? As Christians, do you and I want to be intimidating?

In this video, I share a bit about how I think the process of intimidation works… and how to break it.

Takeaway:

1. Intimidation is the result of barriers between you and other people.
2. Barriers are often the result of pursuing worldly success (and status).
3. So to avoid intimidating people, do the opposite of what the world says, just like Jesus called us to do (for example, serving and giving our lives for others).

Serving Suggestions:

(1) Make a list of some barriers in your life, things that separate you from other people. Usually these are things that most people would consider good achievements, things that show your status compared to others.

(2) Once you have a list, start thinking of how you could either get rid of those barriers altogether or at least downplay them so they don’t distance you from other people.
