The flatterer who sings your praises today is often one “no” away from becoming your harshest critic tomorrow. In this post, we pull back the curtain on how flattery works: the hooks it sets, the web it spins, and why the longer you indulge it, the deeper the knife goes when you finally set a boundary. Learn to recognize the flatterer early, stand firm in who you are in Christ, and stop living for the approval of men.
