In this episode of Faithfully Real, we’re diving into the powerful tension between gratitude and pride. We talk about how unhealthy pride can block connection, stunt personal and spiritual growth, and make it harder to give or receive love. But pride isn’t all bad, when it’s rooted in confidence and self-respect, it can coexist beautifully with gratitude.

We unpack how to balance pride without letting it become unhealthy, how emotional maturity helps us recognize when pride is getting in the way, and what it looks like to reconcile when it has. This is an honest, faith-filled conversation about humility, self-awareness, and the grace it takes to grow.

Tune in for real talk, heartfelt reflection, and a few laughs along the way as we get Faithfully Real about gratitude, pride, and growing through both.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we open up about our own mental health journeys and the struggles, the breakthroughs, and the healing we’ve experienced through both faith and therapy.

We dive into the often overlooked connection between mental health and spirituality, and how faith and therapy don’t have to be at odds and can work hand-in-hand. Whether you’ve been skeptical about therapy, questioned where Jesus is in the midst of mental health challenges, or just need encouragement for your own journey, this episode is for you.

We share the real, the raw, and the redemptive, where we’ve been, where we are now, and what keeps us moving forward.

We talk about what it really means to love others when you're hurt, annoyed, or just plain tired. We wrestle with questions like: How do you show grace when you don’t feel like it? How do you set boundaries without shutting people out?

This is an honest, unpolished conversation about the struggle, the hope, and the small, daily choices that help us grow in love — even when it’s hard.
