Manipulation 1: Anger and Intimidation

00:00 Buying my first car. 02:50 Matthew 5 Jesus on using words to manipulate.  06:43 Manipulating my way to family camp. 11:30 Using anger to intimidate/manipulate gets behavioral modifications but no love. 13:40 Pouting, door slamming, yelling and overwhelm = control.  14:05 You become like the god you worship. 15:45 Jesus doesn't manipulate. 16:05 Fear Bond vs. Love Bond. God doesn't want to control you. 18:10 Intimidation, contempt, sarcasm, teasing, put-downs. 19:15 Teasing vs. complementing - can your family do it? 20:25 Jesus faced intimidation, humiliation attempts to control him. Jesus never used his power to make life better for himself or his family. 21:00 Jesus did not try to control or manipulate, even at his trial. 24:40 Smooth-talking manipulation on the ski-lift. It takes courage to be vulnerable.
