Human Flourishing - pt. 4 Cleaning Up: The Shadow

Vinings Lake Church

Swiss psychologist Carl Jung gave language to a part of our internal landscape he called “The Shadow.” Though this metaphor is contemporary, the concept behind it can be found in most wisdom traditions. Long before Jung, Jesus illustrated this very idea through Greco-Roman theatre and hyperbole. After his vivid presentation, he calls his audience into what can feel like a terrifying, ominous, and unknown task. He calls them to hunt for their own shadow.
