In this podcast, Ian and Jonathan discuss how pride can creep into ministry and the importance of humility. They highlight verses that warn against pride and arrogance and emphasize submitting to God and trusting him. Jonathan gives a prayer at the end, asking God to examine their hearts and motives and help them submit their ways to him. The key takeaways are:
• Pride can easily creep into ministry, especially when there is success or affirmation from others
• God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6)
• The antidote to pride is submission to God and trusting him with your future, not relying on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6)
• Keeping your identity in Christ, not your ministry, helps guard against arrogance
• Examine your heart regularly for any seeds of pride and deal with them before they grow
