Pride can easily take root in the hearts of Christians, often unnoticed. Humility is frequently seen as the remedy for pride, but how can Christians genuinely cultivate this virtue?
This week, Janet and Jocelyn interview Dr. Stuart Scott, a seasoned educator who has taught at Southern Seminary and Masters Seminary, and is now collaborating with Bob Jones University to establish a counseling center. Dr. Scott delves into the distinction between pride and humility, explaining that pride centers on oneself, while humility focuses on others. He emphasizes the subtlety of pride and offers practical advice on how to identify and overcome it, helping Christians to shift their focus towards God and others.

Often in the Christian life, we are called to encourage others spiritually by affirming their right choices. However, it can be challenging to avoid the pitfalls of flattery. What does Scripture say about affirming others in spiritual matters?
This week, Janet and Jocelyn discuss how to genuinely affirm others on their spiritual walk. They explore the importance of motivation, emphasizing that affirmation should aim to glorify God and build others up, not seek personal gain. By grounding our affirmations in Scripture, we can encourage other believers in a way that honors God and promotes spiritual growth.
