"She's talented, successful, and a little proud - but she's a good person." Sound familiar? In today's episode of The Minors series, we challenge this common perception through Obadiah's ancient wisdom. Unlike other sins, pride isn't just a corruption of something good - it's the root of all evil.

In this thought-provoking exploration, we:

• Examine why success and blessings can become spiritual traps
• Contrast pride with gratitude as responses to God's gifts
• Uncover why the "Seven Deadly Sins" consistently put pride at #1
• Reveal how pride caused Satan's fall from heaven
• Challenge ourselves with the uncomfortable question: "Are you proud?"

Through Obadiah's prophecy to the Edomites, we learn that there's no such thing as "healthy pride." Whether you're religious or not, this timeless message about the dangers of believing we're better than others remains startlingly relevant.

Part of our ongoing series examining the Minor Prophets, showing how these ancient warnings speak to our modern struggles with ego and self-importance.
