Summary
We often think we understand pride—recognizing it easily in arrogant, boastful people—but how many realize that false humility can be just as destructive? Pride is not only thinking we are better than everyone else; it can also be thinking we are worse than everyone else. Both are self-centered, and both can keep us from God’s promotion, wisdom, and blessing. In Episode 5 of “Essentials in Leadership,” Duane Sheriff teaches why humility is one of the most indispensable qualities in leadership and life, and how pride can hinder leaders from reaching their full potential—even when they sincerely love God and desire to serve Him. Many misunderstand humility, assuming it means weakness, insecurity, or thinking less of ourselves. But true humility means being God-centered rather than self-centered, agreeing with what God says about us rather than trusting our own feelings, opinions, or the philosophies of the world. Humility is the pathway to wisdom, grace, promotion, and lasting success in God’s kingdom.
