Summary
There's a humility you carry like baggage, and it's slowly wearing you down. This week, Dr. Les Parrott and Judah Smith join me to dismantle the false humility that masquerades as godliness while laundering shame. Humility becomes self-hatred when vulnerability is avoided and spiritual high-mindedness is mistaken for healing. Layer on top the epidemic of spiritual bypassing—pretending everything is okay—and you get a reluctance to ever speak pain. We unpack why your job is not to heal publicly, how real accountability looks different than performance, and why refusing to stay in the box of pretense is the most subversive spiritual act you can commit. Whether you've preached from the platform or hidden behind faith walls, this episode cuts through your shame fortress and lights a path to emotional and spiritual freedom.

| 1:23.6 | You know, like when we throw the plastic platitudes on adversity, |
| 1:28.4 | we're going to talk about how it silences longing, how it masks grief, and how it makes confession performative. We're also going to |
| 1:34.5 | show you how real humility refuses false applause, manages pain under the surface, and learns to |
