Haman's Pride: Why You Shouldn't Be the Main Character of Your Life

Have you ever felt tempted by the "main character" mindset that's so popular today? While it may sound empowering, it can lead to dangerous pride and misplaced priorities.

In this episode, we explore Haman's story in Esther 5-7 as a powerful warning about the effects of pride:

  • Pride makes emotions fragile when we depend on validation from others (Esther 5:9).
  • Pride leads to self-centeredness and boasting (Esther 5:11-12).
  • Pride fosters impatience and pushes us toward instant gratification (Esther 5:14).
  • Pride clouds judgment and skews reality (Esther 6:6).
  • Ultimately, pride leads to downfall (Esther 7:10).

But there's hope! By following Jesus' example of humility (Philippians 2:5-8), we can reject pride, embrace humility, and live a life of true joy and purpose.
