Humility is one of the most misunderstood virtues. Many people assume it means putting yourself down or hiding your achievements, but true humility is something much deeper.

In this episode we discuss:

• What humility really is (and what it isn’t)
• The difference between healthy pride and destructive pride
• Why humble leaders are often the most influential
• Biblical examples of humility
• Practical ways to cultivate humility in everyday life

Pride isn’t just arrogance. It’s much more subtle—and much more dangerous.

In this episode, we begin a new series on the Seven Deadly Sins by diving into pride, the sin often called the root of all others. 

From Satan’s fall to everyday attitudes we barely notice, we explore how pride quietly shapes our thoughts, behaviours, and relationships.

You might be surprised at how many forms pride can take—and how easily it can hide in plain sight.

Hope you enjoy the series and get some insights :)

Ever feel like you don’t deserve your success… like you’re just one mistake away from being “found out”? You’re not alone. 

In this episode, we’re talking about imposter syndrome — why so many of us struggle with self-doubt, feeling unqualified, and battling shame, even when we’re capable and called.

I share my own experiences of changing careers, making mistakes, and feeling completely inadequate — and the practical strategies that helped me grow. 

We’ll explore:

- what is imposter syndrome?

- why we feel it?

- my own experience

- strategies to overcome it

- biblical examples

If you’ve ever thought, “Who am I to do this?” — this episode is for you.

Attention!!! 

We all want it, we all need it, but how we seek attention manifests differently between us. 

Today we discuss attention, why we are wired to need it, and at we explore the obvious and subtle ways that we look for attention. 

We also look at biblical examples of attention seeking behaviour and how God looks at our motivations.

Do any of these resonate with you or the people around you? 

Let's dive in!
