Wow. Think of it. After all, you have questions! You’ve been known to have a problem or two. It would be great if you could find the answers you’re looking for. You crack open that Bible a couple of times but just as quickly shut it. You want to love digging into Scripture. Instead, you find it intimidating, judgmental, and maybe even unbelievable. Let’s change that. Hi! I’m Anna Moore Bradfield, an award-winning and bestselling author, Christian speaker, and facilitator of workshops and events. I’ve been where you are. Plenty of times. I’ve questioned if God cared at all about what I was going through. Did he even have a plan for my life? When I got up the guts to tell him to his face, I found that he had very broad shoulders and that he could take anything I dished out. Then he began revealing himself to me. In this podcast, we’ll share: • Stories from the Bible that reveal God’s interactions with His people, confirming His desire for intimate, consistent, and loving relationships. • Stories from everyday life that testify to…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T14:21:47.747384+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580"},"episode":{"title":"082 | Standing Tall Is Easy, Kneeling Takes Courage: Eliab on Pride, Prophecy, and Redemption","slug":"082-standing-tall-is-easy-kneeling-takes-courage-eliab-on-pride-prophecy-and-redemption","published_at":"2026-03-10T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580/082-standing-tall-is-easy-kneeling-takes-courage-eliab-on-pride-prophecy-and-redemption","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/god-s-power-stories-finding-god-s-lead-how-god-shows-up-bible-and-everyday-life-stories-approaching-god-with-boldness-7102580","url":"https://godspowerstories.podbean.com/e/when-pride-falls-eliab-s-reckoning/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/9bvjjumv5kwxrteh/082_From_Pride_to_Purpose_An_Interview_with_Eliab_of_Bethlehemba4nq-jkvrc5-Optimized.mp3","summary":"Hi, Friend! What happens when the person everyone expects to lead gets passed over—and the person no one took seriously gets chosen instead? In this raw and transformative Faith Through Fiction interview, Eliab of Bethlehem—Jesse's firstborn, King Saul's scribe, and David's antagonist—confesses the moment that shattered his world: when the prophet Samuel looked him in the eye and said, \"The Lord has rejected him.\" This isn't just a story about sibling rivalry or wounded pride. It's about a man who measured his worth by titles, who urged his father to stone his stepmother Nitzevet, who dismissed David as too soft to lead—and who discovered that \"pride is a craftsman that builds houses of delusion strong enough to live in.\" Eliab reveals why he feared David's peace more than his weakness, how prophets don't condemn but uncover our hidden idols, and the night he dreamed of Samuel standing among the ruins of his own pride saying, \"The walls fall to make room for worship.\" If you've ever craved recognition more than righteousness, if you've ever felt threatened by someone else's anointing, or if you're wrestling with the difference between confidence and arrogance—Eliab's journey from self-absorption to surrender will both convict and comfort you. Key Takeaways 1. When Correction Feels Like Insult Instead of Invitation, You've Crossed Into Pride Eliab offers a brilliant diagnostic tool for detecting pride: examine how you respond to correction. When being challenged feels like a personal attack rather than an opportunity to grow, you've moved from healthy confidence into dangerous ego. He admits he once equated certainty with holiness and leadership with never showing doubt—a posture that made him unteachable. The episode reveals that pride doesn't always look like obvious…","meta_description":"Hi, Friend!
