I don't know much about classical psychology although I toyed with the idea of pursuing it as a major in college. People's minds are fascinating and studying and understanding why people think what they think is a hobby for me now. Going to the mall or a ballgame and just watching the people leaves me wondering so much about what you can really tell about someone by watching them.
The ego is certainly a part of classical study and something we would all likely do well to understand better. Why does someone's ego make them do the things they do? Why do other's check their ego and make sure it is not putting them in a position of looking foolish...or worse? I have often observed that ego takes over when confidence is lost.
As a Christian, we can always have confidence because Christ has defeated the enemy for us. We have the spoils of war awaiting us. A Christian doesn't need a big ego because Christ has done what none of us can ever do for ourselves but we can walk confidently and boldly that we, through Him, can overcome any challenge that may face us.
