As our world becomes increasingly connected, we work with teams spanning continents, cultures, and contexts. What works brilliantly in one culture can completely miss the mark in another. For example, silence in a meeting might mean respect, not disengagement. Humility might be mistaken for a lack of leadership potential, and direct communication styles can either build trust or create distance, depending on who's listening. If you're ready to stop making assumptions and get curious about the people you lead and coach, this episode is for you.

Humility is one of the attributes most associated with acquisition of wisdom. Moses was the humblest of men. Sinai was an unassuming, lowly mountain. But what exactly is humility and why does it correlate with wisdom? In this Ethics podcast we plumb the depths of humility and its association with wisdom. This Ethics Podcast was […]

Tye Tribbett is a Grammy Award-winning gospel artist who infuses his songs with scripture, teaching listeners about God as he sings. In 1996 he created “Greater Anointing,” a choir of his family and friends, and ever since, he's been writing Jesus-focused music to start conversations, not condemn. Tye talks with the Perrys about humility, ambition, and what it means to stay kingdom-focused in an industry obsessed with viral success. They unpack the challenges of today's gospel music scene – from sensationalism to the pressure to perform – and the importance of slowing down for ministry moments and walking closely with God.Connect with Tye:https://www.instagram.com/tyetribbett/We Outside Tour: https://www.tyetribbett.com/weoutsideScripture references:2 Corinthians 1:1-7Matthew 24:9-13 This Episode is Sponsored By:https://www.covenanteyes.com/perrys/ — Get Victory by Covenant Eyes FREE for 30 days with promo code PERRYS Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter: https://withtheperrys.myflodesk.com/zhfus4jx1sJoin Preston's discipleship community for men: https://www.patreon.com/PrestonPerry/membershipTo support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal: https://paypal.me/withtheperrysShop BOLD Apparel: boldapparel.shop Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, I sit down with Clay Butler, CEO of Agape International Missions (AIM), for a powerful conversation on fighting child trafficking and how present, intentional fatherhood is one of the most effective weapons in that fight. With over 2,000 rescues and hundreds of traffickers arrested, Clay's work is nothing short of heroic—but it's his role as a father that has most shaped his mission.   We explore what it truly means to lead as a man, not just in high-stakes global work, but in the day-to-day role of being a protector at home. Clay shares how fatherhood has deepened his approach to leadership, the importance of modeling safe masculinity, and why raising strong, loved, and secure children is one of the greatest forms of resistance to evil. This episode will challenge and inspire any man who wants to leave a legacy worth living for.     Episode Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [1:01] – A staggering global reality: a child is trafficked every 30 seconds [2:24] – Clay's transformation from young volunteer to CEO of AIM [5:13] – Why Clay initially took a three-month volunteer trip… and never left [9:06] – Finding emotional equilibrium in a traumatic field [10:29] – How fatherhood amplified—not hindered—Clay's leadership [12:04] – The power of modeling safe fatherhood for rescued girls [14:21] – Humility, teamwork, and spiritual grounding in life-or-death operations [20:03] – Tactical and emotional ways to protect your family in public [22:15] – Why kids from foster care are the most trafficked in America [28:12] – Real actions men can take to stop trafficking—starting at home [29:02] – Navigating the tension of preserving childhood innocence while teaching safety [34:45] – Avoiding burnout: ruthless prioritization and reverse engineering legacy [38:07] – Clay's evolving legacy: from warrior to father to restorer       5 Key Takeaways   1. Fatherhood is powerful – Being a present, loving father is one of the most effective deterrents to child trafficking, both at home and globally. 2. Rescue is only the beginning – AIM's model goes beyond rescue to include healing, job training, and long-term restoration. 3. The U.S. isn't exempt – Most trafficking victims in the U.S. come from broken foster care systems. Supporting those systems can change lives. 4. You can protect your kids daily – Small actions like staying aware in public, modeling healthy masculinity, and teaching intuitive safety make a big difference. 5. Your legacy starts now – You don't need to lead a global organization to be a hero. Leading at home with purpose and love is enough.       Links & Resources   Agape International Missions (AIM): https://aimfree.org AIM Apparel – Support rescued girls through ethical apparel: https://aimapparel.com Bark (Parental Control App): https://thedadedge.com/bark Episode Show notes: thedadedge.com/1393     If this episode sparked something in you, share it with a fellow dad, leave a review, and don't forget to follow the podcast.

Pastor Mike teaches how God wants to take care of us completely, but that care is from within our own body (in our house). He will work through you. Audio>

Rev. Tanner Fox | Philippians 2:1-4What then is a life of humility? What is the gift of a life of downward mobility, lowliness, making much of others and of God while thinking very little of the self? Could it be the blessed freedom that we so desperately long for? Could a life of humility, manifesting as a continual love of God and neighbor, be to us a gift of peace and rest far greater than any we have sought or found on our own? May we be filled with grace to know the true gift that lies in lives patterned after the humility of our Savior.

Humility is an elusive thing. Once you think you've arrived, you know you haven't! Why is humility such an important quality to pursue as a Christian who desires to serve in ministry & use their gifts for His kingdom? Today, we see a great biblical example of humility before Jesus. Much to learn today in John 3 about our heart attitude and motivation to serve Jesus!

Let's challenge some stereotypes by dissecting this "10 Harsh Masculine Truths" post and reframing toxic masculinity as an issue of individual character. Through stoic principles, we emphasize humility, resilience, and genuine strength over cynicism or bravado. Shifting to the life in the Dojo, we explore the true meaning of earning a Blackbelt, not as an end goal but as the beginning of lifelong learning, teaching, and humility. We discuss aging as a martial artist and the importance of inclusivity and respect within the community. Finally, we unpack emotional authenticity in men, using the “crayon box” metaphor to encourage a broader range of expression, touching on gaming, comics, and other outlets that reveal how growth and effort define real strength.--------- EPISODE CHAPTERS ---------(0:00:04) - Unpacking Masculine Truths and Toxicity(0:21:33) - Exploring the Meaning of Black Belts(0:35:11) - Defining Masculinity Through Warrior Image(0:53:06) - Navigating Performative Masculinity Challenges(0:58:13) - Navigating Male Coping Mechanisms and EgoSend us a text

In this episode 140 of The Afterburn Podcast, Rain sits down with retired US Marine Corps fighter pilot and Echelon Front leadership instructor Dave "Chip" Berke — the only Marine ever to fly the USAF F-22 and the first to operationally fly the F-35B. From deployment on the USS John C. Stennis and TOPGUN instructor duty, to commanding the Marines' first F-35B squadron and now helping build high-performing teams at Echelon Front, "Chip "brings unique stories and hard-earned leadership lessons. Find "The Need to Lead" here: https://amzn.to/4nlA67m “The Need to Lead” by Dave “Chip” Berke, with a contribution by Jocko Willink, explores what it truly means to lead under pressure — in combat, business, and life. Drawing on Berke's rare experience flying the F-18, F-16, F-22, and F-35B, the book distills the lessons learned from two decades of military service and years teaching leadership at Echelon Front. From the cockpits of the world's most advanced fighter jets to the classrooms where he now trains corporate teams, Berke breaks down how humility, accountability, and decisiveness shape effective leaders. His stories reveal how ego can sabotage performance and how embracing failure, listening, and empowering others are the real markers of command.

Following last week's message on Humility, Chuck Halford continues his walk through the six steps to escaping sin — this time focusing on repentance. Building on the idea that humility opens the door to seeing our need for God, Chuck explains that repentance is what moves us through it. It's not just about feeling sorry, but about real change — turning away from sin and choosing to walk in obedience. With scripture and real-life perspective, Chuck reminds us that repentance is a gift that brings restoration, peace, and a renewed closeness with the Lord. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” — 1 John 1:9

In this episode of Porn and the Gospel, host Spencer Sutton invites brothers in Christ to take the first step on the ladder of blessing—becoming “poor in spirit.” Drawing from Matthew 5:3 and insights from Jerry Bridges, Charles Spurgeon, and Dane Ortlund, Spencer explores what true humility before God looks like for men striving for purity and holiness. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, he reminds us that we cannot lead our families, workplaces, or ourselves without first surrendering our pride and acknowledging our spiritual poverty. This is where grace begins—and where real transformation takes root. Key Takeaways Poverty of spirit is an attitude of the heart. True humility isn't about behavior—it's about posture before God. God blesses the humble. He dwells with the contrite and revives the heart of the lowly (Isaiah 57:15). Confession is freedom. Like the tax collector in Luke 18, we come to God not with good works, but with open repentance. Seeing God clearly reveals our need. When Isaiah saw the Lord, he said, “Woe is me!” before receiving cleansing and calling. Humility magnifies grace. As Dane Ortlund writes, Christ is a billionaire in mercy—our dependence only deepens His display of grace. Spiritual ambition and humility can coexist. Christ modeled both: total commitment to God's mission and total lowliness of heart. Scripture References Matthew 5:2–3 — “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” Deuteronomy 8:2 — God humbles to reveal what's in our hearts. Isaiah 57:15 — God dwells with the contrite and lowly. Luke 18:11–14 — The Pharisee and the tax collector. Isaiah 6:5 — “Woe is me, for I am lost.” Philippians 4:13 — Contentment through Christ, not self-sufficiency.

Catch the message "12 Steps To A Transformed Life: Humble Yourself" by Pastor Scott Jones.Humility is the primary posture of one who wants transformation. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. In humility, we invite God to remove everything that we have used to prop up our lives and replace it with a renewed mind and character.

In this homily from the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Fr Michael reflects on Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. Through a moving story of a friend named John, he explores the difference between false humility and true repentance. It's not enough to focus on our sin—we must turn our gaze toward the mercy of God. Humility is not about thinking less of ourselves, but thinking more of God. The message is clear: only those who recognise their need for grace will be exalted. A timely word as we near the end of the liturgical year and prepare our hearts for final judgment.

What is a Healthy Christian? (Ephesians 5:21) - Pastor Brett Barton

Смирение, производимое Богом / Humility Produced by God Даниил 4:34-37Даниил 7 Смирение – это плод богопознания, в котором человек прославляет Бога, признавая Его абсолютную свободу и находя в этом удовлетворение.Humility is the fruit of knowing God, in which a person glorifies Him by recognizing His absolute freedom and finding satisfaction in it.I. Смирение – плод богопознания / Humility is the fruit of knowing GodII. В котором человек прославляет Бога / In which a person glorifies HimIII.

Humility is simply God first in everything.

Because we are a family, we need to genuinely love and serve each other so that others want to be a part of it. Think about it: If you were to honestly rate yourself on a 1-10, what would your “living like it” score be?

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation explores how humility, discipline, and the Word of God form the foundation of a believer's spiritual maturity. True humility is not self-deprecation but faith that God can work through our limitations. The speakers discuss David's failure to discipline his sons, using it as a lesson on the importance of structure and responsibility both in families and spiritual life. The group reflects on ambition versus being Spirit-led, noting that self-promotion leads to followers, but humility builds people. Discipline is shown to touch every part of life—from personal habits to time in the Word—and is a sign of love, not legalism. Ultimately, the Word and the Spirit together produce transformation, birthing humility, faith, and love—the true marks of God's Kingdom. Show Notes Main Theme: The relationship between humility, discipline, and being Spirit-led. Key Discussions: Misunderstandings about humility—real humility involves faith, not unbelief.The absence of discipline in David's family as a warning for parents and leaders.The difference between spiritual ambition and being led by God's Spirit.The need for personal and spiritual discipline in everyday life.The power of combining the Word of God with the Spirit for real transformation. Reflection Points: How does humility invite God to work through you?Are your disciplines born of love or of legalism?Do your ambitions build your name or God's people? Quotes Humility isn't weakness; it's confidence that God can work through even the most ordinary vessel.Ambition builds followers. Humility builds people.

Pastor Henry HansenSeries: Habits Of The HeartLuke 18:9-14

The Daily Philip is a devotion of prayer to the Patron Saint of Joy, St. Philip Neri, led by Fr. Malone, parochial vicar of Christ the Redeemer Parish in Swift Current. This devotion has four parts: (1) a daily prayer for a particular virtue, based on the day of the week, to which Pope Pius IX has attached an indulgence (dated May 17, 1852,); (2) a reading from The Life of St. Philip Neri, Apostle of Rome; (3) a quote from The Maxims and Counsels of St. Philip Neri; and (4) the daily prayer for a good death.   For Sunday Prayer to obtain the virtue of Humility. St, Philip, my glorious Patron, who on earth didst so love humility as to count the praise and even the good esteem of men as dross; obtain for me also this virtue by thy prayers. Thou knowest how haughty I am in my thoughts, how contemptuous in my words, how ambitious in my doings. Ask for me humility of heart; that my mind may be freed from all pride, and impressed with the same low esteem of self which thou hadst of thyself, counting thyself the worst of all men, and for that reason rejoicing when thou didst suffer contempt, and seeking out for thyself occasions of enduring it.  Great Saint, obtain for me a true humble heart and the knowledge of my own nothingness; that I may rejoice when I am despised, and resent not when others are preferred before me; that I may never be vain when I am praised, but may ever seek only to be great in the eyes of God, desiring to receive from Him alone all my exaltation. Pater, Ave, Gloria.   Prayer to be said daily, for a good death. O glorious Saint Philip, faithful helper of thy dying children, be thou my father and protector in the hour of my death. Let not the devil overcome me; let not temptation oppress me, nor fear overwhelm me in that hour; but grant through thy intercession that, fortified by faith, hope, and charity, I may bear all things with patience and perseverance, and may happily die the death of the just. Amen.

Psalm Isaiah 52:13-52:12 Philippians 2:1-13 especially verses 5-11 Hymns: Praise Him Praise Him Who Is This So Weak And Helpless Praise Him Praise Him Praise Him Outline: I. Perfect Humility Demonstrated: The Lamb of God II. Perfect Humility Exalted: The Lion of the Tribe of Judah

Not Perfect. Still Super. Every Family is a Hero… Would you join us at The Table?

Read Online“Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity—greedy, dishonest, adulterous—or even like this tax collector.'” Luke 18:10–11What a sad prayer. Of course it wasn't even a prayer to God since the Pharisee “spoke this prayer to himself.” The prayer of the tax collector, however, was a perfect model for all prayer. We read that the tax collector “stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.'” Which prayer more resembles your own prayer?To honestly answer that question, let's examine both prayers. First of all, the contrast of these two prayers is a contrast between humility and pride. The Pharisee was clearly full of pride. Pride blinds us from true self-knowledge. Saint Teresa of Ávila teaches us that the very first thing we must do on our journey to God is obtain self-knowledge through humility. Without that, we will never grow in holiness.The sin of pride is obvious in the prayer of the Pharisee and, therefore, his lack of true self-knowledge is also evident. Note that even his physical posture of standing depicts pride. Throughout the Scriptures, kneeling, or even falling prostrate, is the disposition of the humble. In addition to standing, the Pharisee's prayer was a list of his own goodness. He very well may have fasted twice a week and paid tithes on his whole income. But his prayer suggests that he did this by his own effort. He did not ascribe those acts to the grace and strength of God, which means they were not true acts of charity. His prayer suggests that he doesn't need God in order to do good. This is also seen in the fact that he asks nothing of God. Instead, he simply thanks God for how good he is through his own effort. The result is that God gives him nothing, since he asked for nothing.True prayer must begin with the humble recognition of our weakness and need for God. The tax collector expressed this humility by bowing his head to the ground, not even daring to look up to Heaven. This reveals he did not consider himself worthy of God's grace. Truth be told, he wasn't worthy of it. That's why God's grace is a mercy. It is all mercy in that He bestows that which we are not worthy to receive. And He only bestows it on those who know they are not worthy of it. The words spoken by the tax collector are the perfect model of prayer because his words depict these truths. As a sinner, he doesn't deserve mercy but begs for God's grace as an act of God's mercy.When you pray, how do you pray? What is the disposition of your heart and for what do you pray? Begin by considering the physical position in which you pray. Though we can pray standing, sitting, kneeling or even lying down, there is something very good about kneeling or even lying prostrate. It doesn't mean we have to do so the entire time we pray, but it is a good practice to kneel, bow your head or fall down prostrate before God at least for a moment each day. Do you do this? If not, consider making this a daily habit. When you pray, do you begin your prayer with humility? We begin the Mass by examining our conscience and confessing our sins. This is a good example of how to begin your prayer every time you pray. Humble yourself by calling to mind your sins and weaknesses. Confess them to God and acknowledge the fact that, because of your sins, you are unworthy of God's mercy. Humility like this will help you to see yourself as God sees you, and this will help you open yourself to the grace you need from God to grow in holiness.Reflect, today, upon the humility found in the prayer of this tax collector. As you do, look at your own practice of prayer and discern whether you imitate this tax collector's disposition and prayer. Try to commit to physically humbling yourself before our Lord every day. Kneel, bow your head, or fall down prostrate every day. When you do pray, beg for mercy as one who doesn't deserve anything from God. This is the humble truth on which all prayer must be based. The more you can humble yourself this way, the more God will lift you up and pour forth His mercy upon you. O God, be merciful to me, a sinner. I bow before You, most glorious and merciful God. I offer You my praise and gratitude for Your abundant mercy in my life. I am not worthy of You and Your grace, but You bestow it anyway. For that I thank You with profound gratitude and beg for the ongoing gift of Your grace.

How divine joy, proper order, and spiritual discernment deepen fellowship and faith.We explored the profound joy God takes in atonement, focusing on the doctrines of propitiation, substitution, and reconciliation through Christ. We discussed how salvation reveals the Father's joy and the unity of the Trinity in redemption. Through Romans 5:11 and Luke 15, we reflected on God's grace, the humility of repentance, and the misunderstanding of divine love. The meeting then turned to the believer's growth in understanding good and evil—contrasting fleshly knowledge with spiritual discernment in Christ. Edward emphasized the need for order, humility, and discipline within the local church, where preparation begins at home and reverence shapes worship. The gathering concluded with gratitude for fellowship, spiritual oversight, and God's faithfulness in providing for the assembly's needs.Themes:God's joy in atonement through propitiation, substitution, and reconciliation (Romans 5:11; Luke 15)The Father's delight in salvation reveals the unity of the Trinity in love and purposeThe elder son's attitude mirrors self-righteous misunderstanding of grace and God's sovereignty (Luke 15)Knowledge of good and evil is experienced either through the flesh or through Christ (Genesis 3; 2 Corinthians 10)Carnal believers live according to the flesh while positionally in Christ—growth requires spiritual renewalOrder and preparation in the home reflect proper church order and the Spirit's peace (1 Corinthians 14:33, 40)Humility, reverence, and silence before the Word reveal submission to God's authority (1 Timothy 2:8–12)Giving supports those who teach the Word rather than material structures (Hebrews 13:17; 1 Timothy 5:1, 17–18)Fellowship strengthens protection and accountability within the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:16)Gratitude and submission to spiritual leaders demonstrate maturity and unity in God's loveScripture References: Romans 5:11; Luke 15; Genesis 3; 2 Corinthians 10; 1 Corinthians 14:33, 40; 1 Timothy 2:8–12; Hebrews 13:17; 1 Timothy 5:1, 17–18; Ephesians 4:16Reflection Question: Do I find my joy where God finds His—in the work of atonement through Christ—and is my life ordered in a way that reflects His peace, love, and truth?

We live in a world obsessed with applause, where even our best intentions can quietly turn into performances for the eyes of others. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind believers that the desire to be seen and celebrated is not a minor issue but a heart-level struggle rooted in idolatry. From the beginning, humanity has longed for affirmation apart from God, but Scripture teaches that proper approval comes only from Him. Until we become nothing in our own eyes, God cannot fully display His power through us. The temptation to seek the praise of men lurks in every heart, and even in ministry, it is easy to drift from pleasing God to performing for people.The guys reflect on how easily preaching can become a stage. When props replace Scripture or humor overshadows truth, the message risks becoming entertainment rather than exposition. While creativity, stories, and illustrations can be powerful tools, the heart behind them must be examined. If the goal is applause or attention, the focus has shifted from Christ to self. The battle against showmanship begins in prayer, as we ask God to cleanse our motives and align our hearts with His glory. A faithful preacher studies diligently, prepares with reverence, and views each sermon as an offering, a fragrant sacrifice before the Lord. The real question is whether God is pleased.Social media intensifies this struggle, conditioning us to equate value with likes, followers, and views. The guys urge believers to resist that mindset and to preach, teach, and evangelize, regardless of whether anyone sees it or not. Faithful ministry is rooted in love, love that does not seek its own recognition but points all glory back to God. Congregations also play a role; encouragement is a blessing when it magnifies Christ rather than elevates the preacher. Pride constantly waits to creep in, but humility keeps the heart centered on the truth that apart from God, we can do nothing. All wisdom, insight, and power belong to Him alone.The world, seen clearly in Hollywood, thrives on the praise of man, but followers of Jesus are called to live for a higher audience. Every believer must ask what their motive truly is. Freedom from approval-seeking flows from the cross, where God has already accepted us through Christ's sacrifice. In that security, we serve from devotion rather than desperation. A life of continual communion with the Lord, anchored in prayer and His Word, shifts our focus from applause to obedience. In the end, faithfulness is not measured by claps or comments but by love, humility, and a heart that seeks only the glory of God.Send us a textThanks for listening!
