Summary

Has pride ever impacted your life? Ready to recognize and address hidden pride in your heart? Bible teacher, theologian, author, podcaster, book coach, husband and father of four, Dr. Joel Muddamalle and I discuss the profound topics of humility and pride. Dr. Joel shares his personal journey, revealing how a humiliating childhood experience shaped his understanding of humility and its significance. He explains that biblical humility is rooted in recognizing God and our true identity as His royal children. Pride, on the other hand, is the elevation of self, leading to chaos and confusion. Dr. Joel emphasizes that humility acts as a protection, prevention, and preservation, and that curiosity without limits can be destructive. The conversation shifts to the crucial role of boundaries and limits in the context of curiosity and desire. Dr. Joel explains how God established boundaries in the pre-fallen world to safeguard Adam and Eve from self-destruction. He clarifies that limits are not punitive but rather a means to prevent us from becoming enslaved to unholy desires. Dr. Muddamalle also explores the concept of hidden pride, which can corrupt the fruit of the Spirit and lead to destructive behavior. He highlights the importance of humility in overcoming pride and accepting our limits and weaknesses. Key Points: Humility: A foundational understanding rooted in recognizing God and our identity as His children. Pride: The elevation of self, leading to chaos and confusion. Boundaries and Limits: Essential for protecting us from self-destruction and enslavement to unholy desires. Hidden Pride: A subtle form of pride that can corrupt the fruit of the Spirit. The Power of Humility: Overcoming pride, accepting limits, and embracing our weaknesses.

XO, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guest Dr. Joel Muddamalle muddamalle.com Book: The Hidden Peace: Finding True Security, Strength, and Confidence Through Humility Quote Hidden pride is so deceptive because the conversation is happening in the chambers of the human heart. Takeaways Biblical humility starts with an awareness of God and our identity as royal children of God. Pride is the elevation of self and leads to chaos and confusion. Humility is a protection, prevention, and preservation. Curiosity without limits is chaotic. Boundaries and limits were established by God in the pre-fall world to protect us from self-destruction. Limits are not a punishment, but a way to prevent us from becoming enslaved to unholy desires. Hidden pride corrupts the fruit of the Spirit and leads to destructive behavior. Humility is the antidote to pride and helps us accept our limits and weaknesses. Anxiety and shame can be addressed through humility and accepting our weaknesses. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors! ⋇ Subscribe to We’re Going There on your favorite podcast app so you don’t miss out on any of the great topics and conversations.
