Nancy DeMasse-Walgamuth identifies a principle you'll find all through the scriptures.

You lift yourself up. God will bring you down. He promises it.

Count on it. But here's the other side of that. You choose to humble yourself and God will lift you up.

This is the Revive Our Hearts Podcast with Nancy Damas Walgemuth, co-author of Seeking

him. For February 17th, 2023 I'm Dana Gresch. Just across the state line from Revive Our Hearts is the University of Notre Dame.

Their mascot is the Fighting Irish and you can step foot on their

campus store today and buy sweatshirts or bumper stickers or banners that

promote Irish pride.

It's the same with the Penn State Nittney Lions

near my home here in Pennsylvania.

I guess lions have a different kind of pride too.

Hmm, did you get that? But why do sports teams never boast about their humility?

I wonder. Okay, I don't want to be too hard on sports fans. I think there is an appropriate form of pride in the sense of loyalty

to your team or your country, but still our culture tends not to encourage humility. This month that Revive Our Hearts

we're trying to focus on relationships and especially how humility affects all of

our relationships for the better. Nancy will be talking about that in just a moment. She's written

about humility in a new book called Beauty in the Broken, how humility changes

everything. And here in February it's our thank you gift to you for your donation of any amount
