Deep dives
The Danger of Hidden Pride
Hidden pride presents itself as appealing but can lead to corruption. The story of the Garden of Eden exemplifies how curiosity and hidden pride can deceive individuals into making destructive choices.
Understanding the Gift of Humility
Humility offers self-awareness, allowing individuals to see themselves accurately and be rightly ordered. Recognizing biblical humility as starting with understanding God helps establish internal peace and empowers positive relationships with others.
Humility as a Protection, Prevention, and Preservation
Humility protects individuals from being both walked over due to low self-worth and from walking over others due to excessive self-importance. It serves as a prevention by guarding against self-centeredness and a preservation by placing faith in the grace of Christ, ensuring safety and strength in vulnerability.
Pride is probably a word most of us could give a quick definition for. It's easy to spot in other people, but how can we operate in self-awareness to know how pride is surfacing in our own lives? And what are the costs of letting pride go unattended?
In this special bonus episode, Lysa, Jim and Joel discuss the layers of pride, revealing its subtle yet profound impact on our relationships with others, God and even ourselves.
