Podcasts about Humility

Brian From talks with author and counselor Ed Welch about his new book The Humility Project for Men. Together they explore why humility is often misunderstood as weakness, how pride shows up as insecurity and self-protection, and why true strength begins with listening to God. Ed offers practical, gospel-centered steps for cultivating humility—reminding men that real honor and contentment are found not in power, but in dependence on Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He Must Increase: John 3:22–36In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 3:22–36, where John the Baptist humbly declares, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” As questions of comparison and influence arise, John's response reveals a powerful model of humility, joy, and surrender.Together, they unpack what it means to live a life that points to Jesus rather than elevates self, how identity is secured in Christ—not position—and why true joy is found in making much of Him. This passage invites us to examine our motives, release comparison, and embrace a faith that celebrates Christ's increase above all.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with virtuoso guitarist Angel Vivaldi to explore the intersection of artistry, authenticity, and perseverance. Angel shares insights from his recent tour with legendary guitarist Steve Morse, discusses his creative process behind concept albums like "Synapse," and reveals how he balances being 65% artist and 35% business. The conversation dives deep into topics ranging from working with difficult people and learning from enemies, to the role of AI in music, the importance of vulnerability, and why the only thing worse than living with regret is dying with it. This is a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and staying true to yourself in an industry that constantly demands compromise. Episode Highlights [2:14] Learning from Steve Morse's Humility and Reinvention - Angel describes touring with guitar legend Steve Morse and witnessing him reinvent his playing technique due to arthritis. Despite being one of the greatest guitarists alive, Morse remained humble enough to learn legato and tapping techniques from Angel, demonstrating that true mastery includes the willingness to continuously evolve. [20:59] The Muse and Discipline: Speaking Her Language - Angel shares his philosophy on creativity and the muse: "She has a lot of people to visit and she's gonna favor those who know how to speak her language. What is her language? Music." He explains why showing up consistently to practice—even without inspiration—is essential, because you're refining how you speak music so the muse can work through you. [39:44] The Synapse Album: Painting Studios and Neurotransmitters - Angel reveals the extreme creative process behind his concept album "Synapse," where each song represents a different neurotransmitter. He painted his studio a different color for each song (red for adrenaline, green for serotonin), changed scents, and even wrote at specific times of day to embody each neurochemical state—a process that nearly broke him but resulted in some of his most authentic work. [82:13] Learning from Your Enemies: Unfiltered Feedback - Angel offers a provocative perspective: "Your enemies have no stake in you liking them or them liking you. If you want unfiltered, uncensored, direct feedback on your flaws as a human being, look to your enemies." He explains how to parse criticism from adversaries to find genuine insights while filtering out projection and insecurity. Angel Vivaldi is an American virtuoso guitarist, songwriter, and producer who has been pushing the boundaries of instrumental guitar music since beginning his solo career in 2003. Self-taught from age 15, Angel has released multiple concept albums including "Universal Language," "Away With Words Parts 1 & 2," and "Synapse," each showcasing his unique blend of progressive metal, fusion, and melodic sensibility. Beyond his solo work, Angel is a multifaceted creative force—he's a cinematographer, fashion enthusiast, interior designer, and entrepreneur who founded Zenith Council, an artist services company helping musicians with branding, marketing, and creative vision. Recently, he toured as a guest guitarist with legendary Steve Morse, managing Morse's career while contributing rhythm guitar and content creation. Angel's approach to music and life embodies his belief that authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to creating art that truly resonates.

A sermon by the Rev. Canon Salmoon Bashir on Ash Wednesday (February 18, 2026) at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta

In this conversation, I'm talking to my Christian sisters in business about why God's will isn't something we "figure out" like a formula. But it's something we learn through relationship. Because if we don't know His voice, we'll either move in fear, move in striving, or we'll start calling our own thoughts "God" and then wondering why nothing has peace on it. I'm breaking down the difference between flesh and Spirit, and why discernment matters so much when you're making decisions with money, time, family, and your calling on the line. I talk about stillness, not as a cute spiritual idea, but as a real practice that re-centers you so you can actually recognize what's Him and what's pressure. I also give practical ways to test what you think you're hearing, why community matters for discernment, and why you need to be careful with the phrase "God told me" when you haven't actually submitted it to Scripture, peace, and wise counsel. The goal isn't to be dramatic or mystical. The goal is to build holy confidence rooted in truth, so you're not led by anxiety or hype, but by intimacy and obedience. If you're a Christian woman author and you feel stuck because you love Jesus, you wrote the book, but you're struggling to sell it and actually bring in income without turning into a full-time marketer, I made something for you.

Read OnlineEven now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment. Joel 2:12–13Today, as we go forward in procession at Mass to be marked with ashes on our foreheads, we are reminded: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you will return.” Alternatively, the minister may say, “Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” What humbling words to hear.Do you desire to be humble? From a worldly perspective, humility is rarely esteemed as a virtue. However, those who are truly humble have a radiance that emanates from their souls. Even those who are deeply worldly often recognize the beauty of authentic humility. Among all the virtues we are called to cultivate, faith, hope, and charity are the greatest. No other virtue helps us grow in these three as effectively as humility.Humility is nothing other than seeing ourselves from God's perspective and embracing that truth. It allows us to shed false personas, along with any elevated or distorted images we might have of ourselves. In humility, we come to know who we truly are and live as God created us to be. Humility is the virtue of truth and integrity—seeing ourselves as we are in the mind of God and becoming that person.Imagine being able to look at your life and fully understand it in the way God does. This is the essence of humility. Moreover, humility enables us to embrace God's will, as it opens our eyes to the wisdom of His divine plan. It frees us from the deceptive desires that promise only fleeting happiness, dispels the fears that arise from believing lies, and reorders our desires so that we want only what God wills for us.The Scripture passage from the Prophet Joel is a powerful call to make this Lent a time of humility, repentance, penance, and transformation. As we are reminded of our mortality—“you are dust, and to dust you will return”—we are invited to adopt an eternal perspective, rather than a limited earthly one. Too often, we are tempted to live for the moment, to satisfy every craving, and to enjoy all that this world offers. Humility helps us turn our gaze away from passing earthly pleasures and focus on Heaven and eternal life.Lent is a time to return to the Lord with our whole hearts, “with fasting, and weeping, and mourning.” Fasting and penance are necessary to ensure that earthly desires do not dominate our ambitions. We must weep and mourn as we confront our sins, addictions, and worldly attachments that promise only fleeting satisfaction. Yet, God is a God of infinite mercy, “slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment.” His justice rightly punishes those who reject His mercy, but when we shed pride, sin, and worldliness, His mercy fulfills all justice and He withholds His punishment.As we begin our Lenten journey, reflect today on the words of the Prophet Joel as if they were spoken directly to you: “Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart...” Do not let this Lent pass you by. Enter it with a wholehearted commitment. “Repent, and believe in the Gospel.” Face your soul with humility and confidence in God's mercy. Identify your sins, turn from them, do penance, pray, and seek holiness. If you do, God, in His great mercy, will transform your life in ways beyond your imagination. My merciful Lord, I repent of my sins with my whole heart and beg for the gift of humility so that I may see myself as You see me and change in the ways that You desire. I commit myself to You entirely and ask for Your abundant mercy this Lent. May I keep my eyes on Heaven and live for You alone. Jesus, I trust in You.ImageSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Parenting has a way of exposing our limits. The moments we lose our temper, feel overwhelmed by the noise, or realize we don't have the patience we hoped we would can quickly turn into shame. In this episode, we begin our Lenten journey by reclaiming humility, not as self-condemnation, but as truth. Humility isn't thinking less of yourself; it's seeing yourself clearly and letting God meet you there.We talk honestly about why parenting feels so personal when we fall short, why our culture equates control with competence, and how humility frees us from the pressure to be perfect. Drawing from real parent struggles, Catholic wisdom, and lived experience, this conversation reframes failure as the starting point of grace,not the end of the story.This episode sets the foundation for the entire series: Lent doesn't ask parents to try harder, but to lower their defenses, tell the truth, and let God work in the middle of the mess.In this episode:Why feeling overwhelmed doesn't make you a bad parentHow humility opens the door to grace instead of shameWhat Lent teaches us about letting go of controlHow honest self-assessment leads to freedom, not discouragementSupport the show

Send a textWhat if the biggest upgrade in your fittings isn't the chip, but the craft? We sit down with industry veteran Ray Woodworth to unpack why the best results happen when technology, anatomy, and hands-on skill align. From the clinic to the factory floor, Ray shares how working alongside engineers reshaped his approach to ear impressions, venting, receivers, and fine tuning—and why humility and patient trust still outplay flashy features.We take a clear-eyed look at domes versus custom solutions. Domes can be quick and appropriate for mild losses, but they're often stretched past their limits. Ray explains how custom molds and embedded receivers reduce low-frequency noise bleed, stabilize retention during movement, and unlock better streaming with fuller bass. Vent choice is crucial: the right vent eases occlusion without sacrificing the low-end energy that powers speech and music. Add precise receiver selection, and the same device platform can deliver a whole new acoustic experience.Verification meets perception in a practical framework you can use tomorrow. Real-ear measurement shows when domes leak lows and where custom coupling wins; patient perception then guides comfort, clarity, and loudness. Think of it like a light dimmer: build toward target so the brain can adapt without fatigue. We also compare ear scanning to silicone impressions. Scanners can shine, but only with expertise; silicone often reveals tactile details—wrinkles, texture, exostoses—that screens smooth over. Technique matters: video otoscopy, block placement, and repetition drive consistent, comfortable fits.We close with a blueprint for sustainable success: slow down to speed up. Capture impressions even if patients leave with domes first. Educate, listen, and document so you can pivot fast when comfort or streaming falls short. That's how clinics earn loyalty and ongoing upgrades—by proving that hearing technology is just one third of the process, and the other two thirds are craft and care.

Humility Kills the Devil by NoLimits Church - Sunday Messages

2 Chronicles 12 records a sobering moment in Judah's history under King Rehoboam. After he and the nation turn away from the Lord, God allows Egypt to come against Jerusalem. Through the prophet Shemaiah, God calls them to account—and when the leaders humble themselves, God shows mercy. Though Judah still faces consequences, destruction is restrained because of their repentance. This chapter reminds us that pride invites correction, but humility opens the door to mercy. God is faithful to discipline, yet just as faithful to respond when His people turn back to Him.

My cousins, who lived only two miles away when we were growing up, weren’t allowed to interact with my family. They never came to reunions or talked to us at the local grocery store. Their parents said it was because we didn’t attend church and we’d be a bad influence on them. What a surprise when many years later, a cousin attended my eldest brother’s funeral! He approached us one by one and humbly apologized for their attitude. Our relationship with him began to be restored. Jacob needed a humble heart to seek restoration with his twin brother, Esau. Jacob, the second born, had connived against Esau: he stole his brother’s birthright (25:19-34) and deceived his elderly father into giving him the firstborn’s blessing (26:34–27:40). Furious, Esau threatened to kill him, so Jacob had run to another country. Years later, Jacob wanted to return home but was afraid the deep division between him and his brother wouldn’t be resolved without bloodshed (32:6-8). When he and Esau finally met, he humbly “bowed down to the ground seven times as he approached his brother” (33:3). He feared Esau would kill him, but instead Esau came running “and embraced him” (v. 4). Whether we’ve harmed another or have been harmed, it takes humility, openness, and often much work to heal the brokenness. But God can and will help us.

This episode of the Mountain Podcast centers on the biblical call to “multiply,” drawing from Genesis 1, Matthew 28, and Luke 10 to emphasize that every believer is called not only to follow Jesus but to actively make disciples through love, obedience, and everyday faithfulness. Samuel explains that spiritual fruitfulness is a natural result of a healthy relationship with God and challenges listeners to move beyond passive consumption of church services into intentional participation in the Great Commission—praying for others, sharing faith, practicing obedience, and showing compassion in practical ways. Through teachings on discipleship, humility, and the Good Samaritan, the message reframes multiplication as living out Christlike love in daily life, trusting God to reshape priorities, prune distractions, and mobilize believers to serve their families, workplaces, and communities with grace and courage.

Pride is often subtle. It doesn’t always announce itself boldly. Sometimes it quietly whispers, “I deserve more.” More recognition. More comfort. More appreciation. More ease. Yet Scripture gently redirects our hearts. In Philippians 2, Paul calls us to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but instead to value others above ourselves and adopt the mindset of Christ. The mindset of Jesus is humility. Jesus, though fully God, chose humility. He set aside comfort. He placed others before Himself. He lived for the glory of the Father, not His own recognition. He served. He sacrificed. He surrendered. Humility is a heart posture that says, “This life is not about me.”It recognizes that everything we have and everything we are is from God, through God, and for God. When pride creeps in—when we feel overlooked, underappreciated, or entitled—we are invited back to the cross. Back to the One who modeled perfect humility. Reflecting the heart of Jesus means choosing service over status, surrender over self-promotion, and obedience over applause. As we lower ourselves before Him, we actually draw closer to His heart. And in that place of humility, we honor the One who gave everything for us. Main Takeaways Pride can subtly shape our expectations and desires. Humility begins with recognizing that life is about God’s glory, not our own. Jesus modeled sacrificial, servant-hearted humility. Valuing others above ourselves reflects Christ’s mindset. True honor comes from living for God, not seeking recognition from people. Today’s Bible Verse Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus. (Philippians 2:3-5) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Lord, I desire the humility you modeled.

***We encountered some technical difficulties with this audio so we apologize for the lower quality on this particular sermon.QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.”~Stephen Hawking (1942-2018), theoretical astrophysicist and cosmologist “It is an ironic habit of human beings to run faster when they have lost their way.”~Rollo May (1909-1994), psychologist and author “When man subverted order he did a great deal more than merely fall away from the rationality of his nature…; he brought disorder into the divine order, and presents the unhappy spectacle of a being in revolt against Being. [...] Every time a man sins he renews this act of revolt and prefers himself to God; in thus preferring himself, he separates himself from God; and in separating himself, he deprives himself of the sole end in which he can find beatitude and by that very fact condemns himself to misery.”~Étienne Gilson (1884-1978), French philosopher and scholar “Human beings are not self-referential. You don't make yourself feel loved by telling yourself ‘I love you.' We are relational beings, and so we need something outside of ourselves to tell us we have value and worth.” “What the heart loves, the will chooses, and the mind justifies.”~Dr. John Ashley Null, theologian and Anglican Bishop of North Africa “If you want your own way, God will let you have it. Hell is the enjoyment of one's own way forever.”~Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957), English novelist, playwright, and critic “The concept of substitution may be said, then, to lie at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be. God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be. Man claims prerogatives which belong to God alone. God accepts penalties which belong to man alone.”~ John R. W. Stott (1921-2011) in The Cross of Christ “This is perfect and pure boasting in God, when one is not proud on account of his own righteousness but knows that he is indeed unworthy of the true righteousness and is justified solely by faith in Christ.”~Basil of Caesarea, Homilies on Humility, 20.3SERMON PASSAGERomans 1:16-32 (ESV)Romans 116 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. Romans 21 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. Proverbs 17 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of   knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Psalm 191 The heavens declare the glory of God,  and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.2 Day to day pours out speech,   and night to night reveals knowledge. Psalm 10619 They made a calf in Horeb   and worshiped a metal image.20 They exchanged the glory of God   for the image of an ox that eats grass.21 They forgot God, their Savior,   who had done great things in Egypt,22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,   and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.23 Therefore he said he would destroy them—   had not Moses, his chosen one,   stood in the breach before him,   to turn away his wrath from destroying them.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 4:21. Paul ends the chapter with a question that sounds like a loving father sitting down after a long, difficult day: What do you wish? Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love in a spirit of gentleness? — 1 Corinthians 4:21 This isn't a threat. It's an invitation. Paul isn't eager to discipline them; he's eager to restore them. His heart is essentially saying, "Don't make this harder than it has to be." And isn't that exactly how so many of us relate to God? We resist. We push back. We defend ourselves. We dig in our heels. Instead of confessing, we explain. Instead of yielding, we argue. And eventually, God has to use the "rod"—that loving, corrective pressure that wakes us up. Not because He's angry, but because He refuses to let us drift into destruction. But Paul is showing us a better path—the path of restoration. Humility invites gentleness. Repentance invites tenderness. A softened heart invites God's nearness. We often assume God is eager to be harsh, but Scripture tells a different story: God would rather restore you than correct you. He would rather embrace you than discipline you. He would rather speak softly than press firmly. Paul's question becomes God's question for you: "How do you want me to come to you?" If you respond with a humble, teachable heart, He comes with love. If you respond with pride and resistance, He comes with correction. Not because He wants to, but because sometimes correction is the only thing that shakes us awake. Don't make God use the rod when He's offering restoration. If you feel conviction today, that is God's kindness. If you feel warned, that is His mercy. If you feel nudged toward obedience, that is His love. Paul pleads with the Corinthians—and God pleads with us—to choose the path that invites gentleness. Choose restoration. DO THIS: Humble yourself before God today. Ask Him, "Is there anything I'm resisting that You're trying to restore?" ASK THIS: What area of my life would cause God to approach me with correction rather than gentleness? Have I misunderstood God's discipline as His anger? What step of repentance could open the door to restoration? PRAY THIS: Father, soften my heart before You. Don't let me push things to the point of the rod. Help me choose humility so I can experience Your restoration instead of Your correction. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Come Thou Fount"

Why are compassion, kindness and humility critical to the care of patients in 2026? How can practitioners be taught these approaches and how does this 'triple gift' not only improve patient care but also professional interactions? Can this be taught? If so, what are the best ways? Professor Colin McMahon of Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin shares his deep insights into this important and oft-neglected aspect of being a caregiver. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-026-04161-yFollowing today's interview we also briefly speak with Professor Jack Rychik of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia about the upcoming CHOP 2026 meeting entitled "Cardiology 2026 - Together!".

The real lesson is Humility and Adaptability. The moment you're tired, frustrated, and ready to quit is usually when the instruction comes that don't make sense. “Try the other side” means new perspective, new strategy, new mindset,.. not a new calling. One shift can produce more than years of stubborn grinding. And when it hits, it hits so heavy the net can't even hold it. That's not luck. That's alignment catching up with Obedience.Cast your Net on the Other side | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 180) Trappin Tuesdays
