If you’re like me, then telling yourself to be more humble doesn’t make you more humble.
What does make me more humble is humiliation.
Parody and satire have worked wonders in my life without completely devastating me, because they gently poke at prideful things about myself that I unknowingly embrace. Since the things I connect with are most likely to become an idol in my life if left unchecked, I’ve found it helpful, at times delightful, to seek out satire that pokes fun at the things that I am too connected with… like Christian ministry and Christian sub-cultures.
A famous example of Christian satire is Stuff Christians Like.
Here are some other examples on Twitter that make me laugh, while at the same time give me pause about my own heart…
These particular fake Twitter accounts are all a part of a fake church staff that pokes fun at the dumb things church staff’s do when they forget about the gospel. Enjoy these and try not to take it so seriously ;-)
What gives you humble introspection?
