    Haman's Pride: Why You Shouldn't Be the Main Character of Your Life Have you ever felt tempted by the “main character” mindset that's so popular today? While it may sound empowering, it can lead to dangerous pride and misplaced priorities. In this episode, we explore Haman's story in Esther 5-7 as a powerful warning about the effects of pride: Pride makes emotions fragile when we depend on validation from others (Esther 5:9). Pride leads to self-centeredness and boasting (Esther 5:11-12). Pride fosters impatience and pushes us toward instant gratification (Esther 5:14). Pride clouds judgment and skews reality (Esther 6:6). Ultimately, pride leads to downfall (Esther 7:10). But there's hope! By following Jesus' example of humility (Philippians 2:5-8), we can reject pride, embrace humility, and live a life of true joy and purpose.

    Grief has a way of making everything feel uncertain and heavy. It can be easy to feel distant from God, but in this episode, I share how I experienced His faithfulness like never before during my own season of loss. We'll discuss how to anchor yourself in God's unchanging character, reflect on His past faithfulness, and lean into His promises when everything around you seems to be falling apart. I'll share my personal story of loss and how I intentionally chose to lean into the Lord rather than pull away. It was in that space that I discovered a deeper understanding of His presence and love. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Even in the darkest moments, God is near. He hasn't abandoned you. Remembering His faithfulness can be a powerful source of comfort and strength. If you're walking through grief, I hope this episode encourages you to look back at how God has carried you before and trust that He will do it again.
