Pride Will DESTROY You. Jesus Can Humble You!

Pride will destroy you—and our culture may cheer it on while it happens.
In this episode of Men Who Understood the Times, Michael, Zachary, and Joshua examine what pride really is, why Scripture treats it so seriously, and how it appears in our culture, our churches, and our own hearts.

The conversation turns inward as they discuss pride as a defense mechanism: our resistance to correction, confession, shame, and admitting weakness. They then look to the humility of Jesus in Philippians 2 and consider how God’s Word, prayer, repentance, and identity in Christ help us fight pride.

They also offer practical guidance for raising confident children whose security rests in Christ—not performance, popularity, or applause—and ask a difficult final question: Can Christians become prideful about having correct theology?

Scripture discussed includes Proverbs 16:18, Luke 18:9–14, Romans 12, Psalm 139, Philippians 2:3–8, 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, Galatians 2:20, Micah 6:8, 1 Corinthians 8, and 1 Corinthians 13.
