“The Two-Sided Coin of Pride”

In this episode, we sit down with Jacob Galligan, MEd, LPC, as he shares his journey into the world of counseling and the personal struggles that have shaped his faith. Jacob opens up about the challenges he has faced within the church, navigating seasons of doubt, and how his experiences have tested and strengthened his relationship with God.

We also dive deep into the two-sided coin of pride and self-deprecation—how both extremes can trap us, distort our identity, and pull us away from true humility and reliance on Christ. Jacob brings his wisdom as a counselor to unpack how these struggles manifest in our lives and how we can find balance through faith, accountability, and a right understanding of ourselves before God.

It’s an honest, thought-provoking conversation about faith, identity, and the ongoing work of surrendering to God’s grace. Tune in for encouragement, insight, and a fresh perspective on wrestling with these tensions in life and counseling.

A 4-day, in-person program designed for ministry leaders, individuals, and couples seeking a more specialized and focused experience.
