Pride isn’t confidence—it’s a hostile takeover. In Mission 01 of OPERATION 08 — SEVEN SINS, Fleet Commander Brandon sounds Red Alert because pride doesn’t usually arrive loud. It slips in as “I’m fine,” “I know better,” and “I earned this,” quietly shifting authority from Jesus to self until the command chair is compromised.

In this Ready Room after-action report, Patrick Nash and Erin Dunn unpack the briefing in real-world terms: how pride rewrites the chain of command, why it’s so effective at disabling repentance (admission, submission, and change), and what scripture calls the humility restore—returning Jesus to rightful authority through surrender, teachability, and obedience.
