Episode 30 – Humbled, Not Helpless

Key Verses:

  • Proverbs 30:2–3 – “Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.”

    Overview:

    In Episode 30, Greg Carroll takes a reflective journey through Proverbs 30 to highlight humility, dependence on God, and the power of small, faithful steps. Financial and spiritual wisdom begins where pride ends. This episode reminds listeners that strength comes from surrender, Scripture is the true anchor, and even small, steady actions can leave a lasting impact.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Why acknowledging your limitations opens the door to God’s wisdom

    • How Scripture serves as a refuge and foundation for life and finances

    • The power of the “enough” prayer to keep your heart aligned with God

    • Lessons from small creatures that model preparation, consistency, and purpose

    • How humility leads to dependence, and dependence leads to peace

      Take Action:

      • Reflect: Where are you pretending you have it all figured out instead of seeking God?

      • Pray: Ask for “enough” to stay faithful, generous, and focused on your true Provider.

      • Act Small: Take one humble, wise step today to move toward your financial and spiritual goals.

        Pray:

        “Lord, I don’t need to have it all. I just want to trust You with all I have. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
