Glennon Doyle and the Idol of Self

Untamed, by Glennon Doyle is one of the most popular books of the past year. Many women are buying into the idea that they need to realize their inner "Cheetah," find their "Knowing," and put themselves first. But are these ideas biblical? In today's podcast I analyze the worldview of the book, Untamed, and offer a more biblical way forward for women who feel "tamed" by their life situations.

Someone at a bible study I went to told me about her first book “carry on warrior”. I bought it because she said it was the best book she ever read.. I read the intro to the book and The author said “If God is a He or SHE “ I put the book down so fast and was so convicted by the Holy Spirit and I put it in the trash... I was a newer Christian and knew that was wrong! Also anything tied to Oprah is new age...

“YOUR FEELINGS WILL NOT LIE TO YOU” Holy moly, that wraps all of it up in a perfect nutshell!!! KaBOOM! Thank you! -Momastery fan till she left her husband and her full anti-Jesus, New Age message was clear to me. It is so hard bc she reads and studies the Bible (or claims to) but then is still able to twist and flip things into something opposite from what the Bible is actually saying. When you learn about the New Age-Thank you, Doreen Virtue’s channel-it helps you see how insidious it is. I could rant forever and I’ll stop now. Just loved your synopsis-THANK YOU ❤️

What I respect about you Alisa, is that you never stoop low and attack people. There are christian channels that would've attacked Dolye personally. You kept this entire talk about the topic which is why the ideas in the book go against God and the truths of Christianity. You reviewed this book in love AND correction. Thank you for another great episode.

[@consi1801]

Yes!

[@carolberubee]

This message of self is so toxic. Thankfully, some women are realizing how unbiblical it is. I'm glad that Alisa is addressing this issue. Allie Beth Stuckey has a book coming out this month, and my devotional paperback will be out on Sept. 1. Both of these books lay out the case for a Biblical view of self.

Eat the fruit is what the Deceiver said and is still saying to and through people like this author.

Ironically, it's the same people who say "if you love me you won't disagree with me or vote against my interests" who also then advocate removing the rights of people who want their conservative values, religious beliefs and family structures protected.

[@garycarr809]

There is no right or wrong...unless you disagree with me.

[@gohandbzssj]

The book is insight into the same desires that cause Eve to eat the fruit in the first place. Eve wanted to be like God, to know the good and evil and make her own decisions. This book teaches how to do that and make it seem like a good thing. It praises the human nature to worship ourself. It’s unfortunate. Great video :)

[@TheSeeking2know]

I've been saying this for years. Eve was introduced to the same thinking that Satan himself developed and acted on, and she did what she wanted (without Adam's assistance).

[@aderibigbeadebimpe3354]

So unfortunate

[@mandimathews1993]

Dang, this was so good. What Alisa said at the end: “Self worship = slavery” is the hard truth that the world doesn’t understand. Thank you for this video.

[@emiliebriggs8992]

Glennon’s deceived perception of why Eve ate the fruit is exemplified in the view she has of herself! She thinks she knows better than God; that she has the moral high ground! The problem, as you stated Alisa, is that when we think we *know* something, and it doesn’t line up with God’s Word, that *knowing* boils down to a fleeting fit of self-delusion that feels momentarily like power and authority. Excellent review of Untamed. Thank you!

[@consi1801]

Yes, it's the old Eden lie in new, culturally relevant packaging.

[@drewellynjeffcoat6527]

Alisa, I so appreciate how very fair and kind you are when dissecting the beliefs and messages of those preaching "another gospel". I'm not sure how you keep such a spirit of grace about you, but I admire it. In regards to this idea that there is no right or wrong or should or shouldn't Doyle puts forth...does that mean slavery, racism, human trafficking, robbery, torture, police brutality, and rape are ok? If there is no sin, then those things aren't wrong. Who are we to judge and condemn the people who do those things? Maybe they've found their happy place in those activities. Maybe that is their true selves. Who are we to take that away from them? (I hope you can hear my sarcasm.) Logically it makes no sense. Truly, truly, truly, the devil has blinded the eyes of unbelievers.

This is why as Christian's we have to make sure we meditate daily and preach the nature of our Father and our nature because it will keep our narcissistic tendencies to grow. She needed more and God was never enough. Even as a Christian mommy blogger it seems now it was about her need for attention and superficial fulfillment not Christ

[@jackjones3657]

It sure sounds like Doyle is conflating good with evil and evil with good. That seems to be a spirit of the day.

[@ReformedSooner24]

It’s ironic that this happens considering the tree adam and eve ate from was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And yet now so many people get these two flipped.

She believes the Christian faith has been hijacked... I've rarely seen it as hijacked, twisted, lied about and turned upside down as she's done in this book.

[@sandylewis8897]

She seems like a very broken person. She is confused about God's word and hurt by her husband. She has depression, and both she and her partner had substance abuse problems. I hope she finds the Lord.

[@consi1801]

Sadly, as a former new-ager, I can testify that most of the people I interacted with in that realm had a genuinely bad (or unsatisfying to the flesh) experience with "religion" or "religious people" (often Catholicism). Doyle's message is another version of the basic message I heard taught by demons who spoke through mediums. Of course they didn't identify themselves as such... I figured that out after I repented of all that involvement. Alisa is correct... definitions of key Christian words/concepts are redefined in this sort of Spiritual attack. And the foundational lie that all of it teeters upon is, "You're misinformed about the I AM. Let me explain..."

[@lauratim4724]

You’re spot on with the point about unrealized ambition/curiosity. I love Glennon. I started following her before everything came out with her divorce/Abby. I was at the Belong tour in 2016 right before it all came out and she was a surprise guest and I remember having an uneasy gut feeling about her and kept thinking “she’s self-indulgent”. It’s hard for me to hear her saying these things now because she is so compelling. But the idea that we just need to explore every desire and urge we are curious about is just a path to destruction. I follow a true crime channel and one of the common themes with serial killers is that they feel this overwhelming curiosity/urge/even beauty about killing and dismembering people. That’s an extreme example but seriously not all urges and desires should be followed...it’s a path to destruction. That’s not something we can base our worldview on at all.

[@HelpMamaRemote]

Sad thing is like the cheetah in the cage God has created her for more and to live within His standards. However, she has caged herself with the deceitful lusts of her mind.

[@christincommon5496]

[@annaalvarez3291]

I’m so encouraged by you, Alisa. Thanks for doing the labor of breaking down these ideas and holding them to the standard of truth. As believers we are not talking about these ideas in order to amplify our own interpretations of the Bible but to hopefully correct and save people from being deceived by the false ones. It breaks my heart seeing more people fall into these ideas because it blinds them from the beautiful truths of word that God has provided for us. Taking the time to explain it all to someone is tiresome and not easy to do. But if it can help just one person from falling into these derailing ideas that put us in more bondage, then glory be to God. Thank you for doing the hard things Alisa. Sharing truth is labor. But God truth is worth standing behind. ❤️

Her "Knowing" sounds like a spirit guide.

[@mrssallybrown619]

It reminds me of Frank Perreti’s “This Present Darkness”

[@shieldoffaith8798]

As someone who has experienced being ridden off time and time again with family members, I can see why some women might really gravitate towards this book and fall into this deceptive thinking. It sounds like this book really appeals to the vulnerabilities, temptations and struggles we have as women trying to navigate a broken and sinful world. Growing up and to this day, I've had family members try and almost force their preferences for likes and dislikes onto me, expecting that I need to share the same interests as them. My mom and others are examples of this but they expect me to act as they do and if I don't have the same interests as them, I am silenced or ignored. It is deeply hurtful when people close to you ride you off and dismiss you. I've had well meaning family members who don't want to hear from me on certain home remodeling projects I was part of because I am not a man and therefore, must not have anything worth mentioning. Its heartbreaking, because I think so many have gone through spiritual abuse or been dismissed for their struggles, that the pendulum ends up swinging in the complete opposite direction. I have family members on both opposites sides of the spectrum which is interesting lol. There are those who are now fully into feminism and those who unknowingly think the man is always right. I fall right in the middle which is how I believe the Bible teaches. I believe in submitting to my husband and serving family, while also having my own voice. I hope women stay far away from this book and thank you Alisa, for bringing these things to light. Its heartbreaking the deception that is out there

Thank you, Alisa for being a smart woman in Christianity. I am coming out of hypercharismatic Christianity where I was taught that we are to check our brains at the door and live out of our spirit. True, we are spirit beings and the Holy Spirit should guide us, but we have to use our God-given intellect to discern evil from good as well as our spirit. I love your channel so much. I cannot put into words what a breath of fresh air you are to my deconstruction from hyperChristian teaching. God bless you and keep up the good work.

[@christincommon5496]

I, too, had to “recover” from hyper-charismatic teachings. God recalibrated me and it took a while, but I am so grateful!! I was one who was lost in the church for years, hearing a false gospel followed by unbiblical “ministry”. I have a heart for those like me, who I refer to as “fake saves” in the church.

[@martymarty1438]

Thank you Alisa for breaking down ungodly ideas that authors, such as Glennon Doyle put forth and explaining that to your viewers. Not all of us have the time or ability to critically look at so many of the authors and books that are out there today. So easy to get caught-up in something that claims to be true. There are so many like Glennon that are leading many in the Church away from the True Jesus. New age teachers wrapped in "christian" garb having a beautifully wrapped message void of the Truth.

[@pinballpsycho]

The post modernists must really love what Doyle is positing.

[@daniellewardd]

What’s postmodernism? I can never get it.

[@pinballpsycho]

@@daniellewardd Hi. Postmodernism was borne out of the ashes of Marxism, after it became clear that the predictions of Marx all failed and a worker's rebellion would never take place, given the birth of the middle class. Marxists became depressed and developed a philosophy to counter the so-called modernist revolution, which had given rise to the enlightenment and in turn advances in mathematics, classical liberalism, science, medicine and the rights and responsibilities of the individual. But rather than admit that Marxism failed, the post modernists settled on the notion that there is no such thing as truth, and that all truth is subjective. The Neo-Marxists borrowed some of these ideas in creating their new version of Marxism that is based on culture rather that economic class, particularly where you see narratives that insist every single event is a manifestation of oppressor and oppressed classes in a never ending grind of power dynamics. It's why we are having cultural struggles of every conceivable kind today. It's part of a grand political movement that has worked it's way into the structures of government and seeks to overturn them. It has also worked it's way into the church - and Doyle's assertions leverage some of it's tenets. If you want to learn more, the following clip is an non-religious, academic overview (though somewhat long, it explains how we got from the enlightenment to where we are now). kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3Oqk3t9a5irbtk

It was only when I accepted Christ as the only way to real freedom from the depravity living that way resulted in. The Bible speaks a lot about wisdom and understanding, it doesn’t come when we rely on our hearts to dictate our reality. I am grateful for the incredible testimony that God has blessed me with but I certainly would not wish it on anyone.

I was disturbed by Untamed. Doyle has bought into her own hype and the book reads as if she has all the answers to life. Whereas Love Warrior was written more like a memoir of a very messy life, Untamed is a how-to-do life which feels very very wrong and completely inauthentic. For someone who encourages independence, she has spent VERY little, if any, time alone. She went from her relationship with her husband, straight to another codependent relationship with Abby. If you observe her relationship with Abby online - Doyle regresses into a little girl within their interactions. It’s strange. I’m not sure what makes her think she is able to advise any woman, anywhere. The book is a lesson in being self-centred.

[@lyndadavey2560]

Thank you Alisa for your breakdown of this book. Forty years ago (I’m now 70) I would have consumed it with relish. I was very slow to grow in wisdom. I fell into one trap after another, even years after I accepted Jesus as my saviour. I have much still to learn, but I’ve learnt one thing - when an idea comes into my head, to check where it comes from. An Anglican priest nurtured me early in my faith. He taught us to always check the source of an idea - If it didn’t conform with biblical teaching and the Holy Spirit, to reject it. The path to heaven is narrow and few find it.

[@garygrant6987]

Great video. Thank you, Alisa. While I was listening, Soren Keirkagard came to mind. Here we have a man that is fulfilled and alive in his Christians faith. He is not a man of convention, but he is not rebellious. Christianity is so freeing and primal, if we truly understand freedom. Then if we look at Keirkegard’s protégées, like Neitzche or Sartre’, we have the same deconstructionism that you speak of. I haven’t read this book you’re reviewing, but it sounds like a repackaging of the New Age all over again. Again, thank you. God bless!

I attended a Christian college...but I have seen so many of my peers and even professors fall into the half-truths of progressive thought and dismiss the full Truth of Jesus. Jesus says "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Matthew 6:24. So often today it feels like money gets replaced by culture or political party or some form of platform for social justice, etc. It breaks my heart.

I had listened to Rachel Held Evans a while back and I didn't know what type of Christian she was. Some things are so subtle at times. Anyway, this was an interesting video. Thank you.

This is encouraging! Thank you for the heads up on book subject matter although was not aware of it or her story. The gospel is good news when interrupted correctly. 🙏☺

I’m a little late to this particular party. But this information is SO IMPORTANT. We are seeing more and more public figures who built their platform on a Christian fan base go this direction, and we need knowledge of the Scripture and discernment.

My heart actually breaks for Glynnon Doyle. She’s hurting and she has denied the only person who can help her, aka Jesus Christ ...

[@monkadayle3819]

Thank you…thank you…thank you, I wanna so grow up and be you❤. Keep it up, you are beautiful, brave and bold in the most tender and non judgmental way. Glennon has nothing on you! May God continue to bless you and your ministry!

"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil", ...and ye shall be woke... For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, (WOKNESS) have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

[@joshuariston2924]

Glennon if she wants to believe what she believes in untamed, following her feelings, etc....can have no longer any part in calling herself a Christian. She’s only using the Word Christian as a label to spread her false doctrines. Meanwhile she refuses to part with the Word, but rejects any place that has come from. You cannot redefine Christ or Christianity. Nor does she have or take any part presently in historical Christianity. As she has clearly and overtly stated and defined that Christianity is hijacked, which means she clings to another Gospel other than the one Jesus Christ preached. Let’s not forget also, that Jesus corrected people who were living in sin, and going to Hell...so to her He must not know how to love at all. That’s heresy according to how she’s redefining good, and bad, etc, yet answering questions in a shade of black and white that doesn’t exist either? Fallacies abound here, but at the heart is idolatry.

[@consi1801]

Christianity is being systematically redefined and subverted from within the church. It's part of the "falling away" from Truth, the apostasy which characterizes the time we're living in.

Thank you for this insight. 💗

[@cherifox2125]

Alisa, I really appreciate the work you are doing. It is helping me so much! God bless your ministry abundantly!!!

Great review!

[@Oreo_the_CattleDog]

I loved the video!

[@zoemills1349]

Me and my family have just recently moved from a progressive church to a gospel centred and Bible teaching church - i feel as though my eyes have been opened to so much. This channel has really helped me so I just felt I needed to say thank you and God bless you!

[@sarw9294]

Oh my. I read that Glennon Doyle used to live in Centreville, VA. That’s where I grew up 😵‍💫 Small world

[@Window4503]

My favorite argument: If good and evil don’t truly exist and the universe is fundamentally neutral, then we should not even be capable of forming the ideas of good and evil.

[@consi1801]

@window4503 Their response: Good and evil are actually one. Enter "the FORCE" concept of indoctrination via Star Wars.

[@radiantheartwoman]

WOW. This is everything I believed as an eastern mystic, divine feminine, panetheistic new ager before I got saved 18 months ago. Praise God for pulling me out of the hell of deception! The author claiming to be Christian is startling. Christian women...run from this deception and cling to the truth of Jesus! We have the only thing that gives true liberation...we are not caged...we are FREE

[@anneboyle2951]

Me too! Thank you Jesus for saving us and setting us free 🙏🙏

[@LadyRwhen]

My goodness. The absolute, unequivocal heresy of this book is disturbing.

[@ReformedSooner24]

Like I don’t normal agree with burning books but this is making me consider exceptions to that particular value of mine

[@jillianmathews3749]

Thanks for information

[@stevenmclauchlan5472]
