There is a type of narcissist that is the worst of them all\\u2014the type of person Jesus warned of when he said beware of wolves in sheep\\u2019s clothing (Matthew 7:15).

\\xa0This narcissist sneaks in undetected and infects your life in ways you couldn\\u2019t even imagine.

\\xa0When we think of the grandaddy of all narcissists, we usually think of the highly abusive, malignant narcissist. But it doesn\\u2019t take a discerning eye to spot this narcissist from a mile away.

\\xa0The narcissist I\\u2019m talking about today, flies under the radar and even comes across to many as sweet, caring, easy going, and nice. But beneath that erroneous exterior, you're dealing with a self-centered, egotistical, self-righteous, entitled brat.

\\xa0You may be saying, Kris that sounds a lot like the covert narcissist. Andd you\\u2019d be right, but there\\u2019s a tiny element that you\\u2019re missing.

\\xa0This isn\\u2019t just the convert naricsisst, this is the \\u2018Christian\\u2019 covert narcissist.

\\xa0This is the narcissist that knows all the right words to say. They\\u2019ve learned the lingo\\u2014maybe they even learned it from you\\u2014but they are anything but true followers of Jesus. In fact, many of them are wolves in sheep\\u2019s clothing.

\\xa0So in today\\u2019s video I want to give you insight into their behavior and help you to follow the biblical mandate found in Proverbs 4:23: \\u201cAbove all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life.\\u201d

\\xa0So let\\u2019s talk about 8 contradicting characteristics of the Christian covert narcissist.

\\xa0Contradiction #1: Sweet on the outside, shallow on this inside

Two opposing flavors may work well for candy bars, but not for healthy relationships.\\xa0

The Christian covert comes across like she/he cares, but it\\u2019s a facade, and an overly exaggerated one at that. They have to \\u2018sell\\u2019 you because they know that if you lift up the hood, you\\u2019ll see there\\u2019s no depth. A few minutes of genuine conversation and you\\u2019ll see you can\\u2019t swim in those shallow waters. But if you are the type to hang out on the shoreline, you may not spot this person easily.

\\xa0Contradiction #2: Uses vulnerability to manipulate

Have you ever had compassion for someone, only to later to feel bamboozled? You can\\u2019t quite put your finger on it, but something about your care for them made you feel uneasy. Maybe they cried the financial blues when it came time to pay the bill, but you found out later that they really didn\\u2019t need you to take them out to dinner.

\\xa0 Or maybe they convince you do something for them that you later learn they could have and should have done for themselves. Covert Christian narcissists love to play the victim in need.\\xa0 \\xa0

\\xa0Contradiction #3: Nice, but not kind

\\u2018Nice\\u2019 by definition means pleasant and agreeable\\u2014two characteristics that can easily be faked. Nice is shallow, while kind is self sacrificing.

\\xa0The Christian covert narcissist is not genuine. That\\u2019s why they erect a \\u2018nice\\u2019 image. Because they care more about how they appear than how they really are.

\\xa0Contradiction #4: Quotes scripture, but is biblically illiterate

Christian covert narcissists know enough scripture to be dangerous. If they lie and twist their words and yours, why wouldn\\u2019t they do it to God\\u2019s Word?

\\xa0Be sure to know God\\u2019s truth for yourself, as one of the enemy\\u2019s favorite tactics is to confuse you with lies that are founded and grounded in SOME truth. That\\u2019s what makes this narcissist so dangerous, they know enough of God\\u2019s truth to twist it.

\\xa0Contradiction #5: Says one thing, but does another

The Christian covert narcissist takes hypocrisy to new heights. I hate to imagine how many people they\\u2019ve turned off to Christ with their two-
