What if ‘Be Yourself’ Is Terrible Advice?

Main message: Don't focus on "being yourself" as the ideal; instead pursue becoming more like Jesus because "being us" often perpetuates the problems we're trying to fix.

Key points:

• "Be yourself" can be harmful if your natural tendencies are sinful or destructive.
• If your character has caused your current problems, repeating "you" will not help.
• The goal is not greater self-expression but greater Christlikeness.
• The world needs more of Jesus, not more of our flawed selves.
