Pride isn’t always loud, boastful, or easy to spot. It can hide behind spiritual accomplishments, influence, money, family heritage, personal success, judgment of others, or even the habit of diminishing the gifts God has given us.

In “The Kinds, Forms, and Degrees of Pride,” Patrick Davidson and Michael Arnold explore the difference between outward and inward pride—and why Christians must ask God to reveal what may be hidden within their hearts. They explain that genuine humility is not self-hatred or pretending we have no value. It means thinking of ourselves less, depending fully upon God, and allowing the character of Jesus Christ to take shape within us.

Through biblical teaching, personal experiences, and lessons from the Humbling Guide, this episode examines sanctification as a lifelong journey of surrender, humility, and abiding in Christ. Pride may lie near the root of every sin, but the humility of Jesus provides the soil in which faith, love, joy, strength, and every other Christian virtue can grow.
