In this episode of Slow 2 Speak with Vooch, LoFi Friday’s Edition, we dive into the topic of boasting and uncover why it’s more than just pride—it’s offensive to God. Drawing from James 4:13-17, we explore how boasting denies God’s sovereignty, exalts human pride, and reflects rebellion.

Discover biblical wisdom from both the Old and New Testaments, including Moses’ warning to the Israelites (Deuteronomy 8:17-18) and God’s instruction through Jeremiah to boast only in knowing Him (Jeremiah 9:23-24). Along the way, I’ll share a personal story about my grandmother’s advice on trusting God with our plans.

Join me as we reflect on how boasting impacts our relationship with God and how we can align our plans with His will. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode, and check out my book, Suggested Etiquettes for the Grieving, available now.

Key Takeaway: Are there areas in your life where you’ve been boasting instead of acknowledging God? Let’s reflect and keep Him at the center of our plans.
