Our feelings are not truth.

Summary

Main message: Don’t base life or decisions on your feelings or a self-centered "what feels good" ethic; feelings are God‑given but unreliable as the ultimate guide to truth and will lead to harm if followed as the final authority.

Key points:

  • Living by feelings can lead to inaction, selfishness, poor health choices, and a lack of generosity.
  • Cultural messaging has trained people to live for self — "me, mine, I" and "do whatever feels true."
  • Feelings themselves aren’t inherently wrong (God created them) but they are a poor narrator of truth.
  • Choosing self‑centeredness and feeling‑based living ultimately leads to destruction.
  • The speaker quoted Becky Johnson, who challenged students about the dangers of a self-focused generation.
