Pride doesn't always look like arrogance. Sometimes, it looks like insecurity, fear, comparison, and feeling unworthy.
In this episode, we uncover the two faces of pride — proudfulness and insecurity — and how both can quietly pull us away from God, our obedience, and even the purpose He has placed inside of us.
We go back to the origin of pride and explore how self-exaltation entered the universe through Satan's rebellion. But more importantly, we look at how pride can show up in us today.
Because sometimes the pride that says “I'm better than everyone” is easier to recognize than the pride that says “God can't use someone like me.”
And what happens when our insecurity becomes bigger than our trust in God?
We talk about the only way to truly combat pride: following the example of Jesus Christ — walking in humility, submission, obedience, and complete surrender to the Father.
The episode ends with a prayer of repentance, asking God to search our hearts and reveal every place where pride has taken root.
Pride can be loud. Pride can be subtle. Pride can even sound like insecurity.
So the question isn't, “Am I a proud person?”
It's:
“God, where is pride hiding in me?”
