Pride is sneaky. Most of us don’t think we’re prideful… until something pushes back on us.

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like when pride finally gets checked. Not in a dramatic, lightning-bolt way, but through moments of truth, correction, and uncomfortable self-awareness. Drawing from a story in the Book of Mormon (no prior knowledge required), we explore why humility can be so hard, why feedback can sting, and how growth usually shows up disguised as inconvenience.

This conversation isn’t about being shamed or “put in your place.” It’s about noticing the patterns that keep us stuck — defensiveness, self-justification, the need to be right — and what changes when we’re willing to soften instead of dig in.

If you’re familiar with the Book of Mormon, you’ll recognize the pride cycle right away. If you’re not, you’ll still find plenty here that applies to leadership, relationships, faith, and everyday life. Ancient scripture turns out to be surprisingly relevant when it comes to human behavior.

We talk about:

• Why pride is easier to spot in others than in ourselves

• How correction can actually be a gift

• The difference between humility and weakness

• Why God teaches through experience, not force

• What it looks like to choose growth over ego

Whether you’re active in the LDS faith, on the edges, or just curious about how scripture connects to real life, this episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and ask an honest question: What happens when I stop resisting being taught?
