When was the last time God corrected you—and you actually listened?

Pride is one of the most dangerous spiritual blind spots because the person struggling with it is often the last one to see it. In this episode of The Pursuit Podcast, Pastor James Hamby explores what the Bible teaches about pride, humility, self-reliance, daily surrender, and spiritual growth.

Drawing from James 4:6, Proverbs 16:5, Luke 9:23, Psalm 139, Philippians 2, and John 3:30, this message provides five practical, biblical ways to overcome pride and develop genuine humility before God.

In this episode:
• How God views pride
• Why self-reliance can become spiritual pride
• The difference between confidence and "Godfidence"
• How to surrender your right to be right
• Dangerous prayers that transform your life
• Practicing obedience when nobody is watching
• Why shifting your focus from yourself to Christ changes everything

This week on The Pursuit Podcast, we're answering listener questions that came from our discussion on growing closer to God.

Can Christians abuse God's grace? Why does sin still feel like such a struggle after salvation? Is church attendance actually necessary? And how should believers respond to church hurt?

Using Romans 6, Romans 8, and Hebrews 10 as our foundation, we explore identity in Christ, the purpose of sanctification, the value of Christian community, and the path toward healing and forgiveness.

If you've ever wrestled with grace, church, or what it truly means to follow Jesus, this episode is for you.

Topics: Grace • Sin • Sanctification • Church Attendance • Church Hurt • Identity in Christ • Biblical Community • Christian Growth.

Are you tired of fighting the same sins over and over again?
