Who’s To Blame?
This lecture is based on Dr. Baker’s book with Carmen Renee Berry entitled, “Who’s to Blame: Escape the Victim Trap and Gain Personal Power in Your Relationships”. Learn the difference between accountability and blame in your relationships, and avoid falling into the trap of giving away your personal power. Dr. Baker explains why we mismanage our emotions and end up feeling like a victim when we blame others. He also helps us to understand how we might be avoiding our responsibility in our relationships by allowing others to blame us as well. Many Christians have the idea that either God is doing it for us or Satan is doing it to us, but we are somehow never responsible. This lecture will help you learn your responsibility in loving others and avoid the victim trap of blame.
