Pride, Insecurity, and Leadership in the Church: Lessons from King Saul (1 Samuel)
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
Host Preach walks through the story of Israel’s first king, Saul, uncovering how pride, fear, and insecurity can quietly take root in leadership and ultimately damage unity within the church. From Saul’s early signs of insecurity to his pattern of acting out of fear, they highlight how misplaced identity leads to destructive decisions that impact not just leaders—but the entire body of Christ.
Unpack the critical difference between humility and insecurity, and how true confidence comes from knowing who you are in God—not what you can accomplish. Through real biblical examples, Preach shows how pride often masks insecurity, how fear drives poor leadership, and why humility is essential for building unity in the church.
