Summary
In this episode, Kaleb Allen talks about the danger of mixed motives in the Christian life. He looks back at his own early years in ministry and how pride, competition, and selfish ambition tried to shape his devotion. Kaleb reminds us that spiritual disciplines should lead to deeper friendship with God, not performance or status.
You’ll learn:
• Why some people pursue revival for the wrong reasons
• How pride can hide inside prayer, fasting, and study
• What Paul says about preachers with selfish motives
• How to avoid a “works-based” mindset in your devotional life
• Why thankfulness for the cross must fuel everything you do
This is a call to honest, simple devotion. One that’s shaped by love for Jesus—not the desire to be seen.
