SEASON 1: EPISODE 13: Wisdom, Pride & Humility ft. Audrey Statler, Alexis Torres & Rachel Hicks (Part 2 of 4)
(Series: Living Like Christ)
In today’s podcast episode, we’ll dive into Scripture together in Proverbs 21 because we don’t have all the answers and we don’t have it all “together.” Each of us needs God’s Highest Wisdom from His Word. Proverbs is a wonderful book in The Bible that speaks to the folly and foolishness of pride. Our guest, Audrey Statler says it well by saying, “When we think we know more than others, it’s likely that we believe we know more than God.” Ouch. She also continues saying, “If we think that we’re the ones who will teach you because you’re wrong—that’s pride.” There are many serious implications in our selfish, fleshly pride that take negative affect on our own hearts, our relationships, our churches, and how we hurt others.
TANDEM HOPE WORSHIP COLLECTIVE is excited to continue a new series titled, Living Like Christ with our host, Leisha Cole. In today’s episode, we continue our four-part episode with guests, Audrey Statler, Alexis Torres and Rachel Hicks, in which we discover how to best pursue wisdom. If we’re going to live like Christ, we need to be humbled, for Christ Jesus is The Humble King, Who willingly came down from His Heavenly Throne and sacrificed Himself, and served people. No one is more humble than He. In these next few podcast episodes, we discuss the wisdom in choosing Christlike humility over fleshly pride. So from where or from whom do you pursue wisdom?
In a song I wrote and recorded titled, “Running Toward,” the opening lines are these:
“In this age/advice parades/ as wisdom/through tainted voices and clouded opinions/well, it all proves wrong in the long run/ so we fix our eyes to our Wise God/we’re running towards our God Who saves us/with open arms embracing all He says to us/we’re running towards our God Who changes us/with open hearts believing all He says to us…”. And that’s the heart and pursuit of God—in that pursuit of Him, we’re blessed by His Presence and Word—we’re blessed with HIS Wisdom.
Be challenged and encouraged with today’s episode! God bless!
