Join Pastor Stephen Mizell, Pastor Jay Rivenbark, and Pastor Wendy Korbusieski as they explore James chapter 4, examining how pride fuels conflict and why humility is the antidote to worldliness.

Scripture Focus: James 4 - James reveals how selfish desires create conflict and presents humble submission as the remedy for pride and living divided between God and the world.

In This Episode:

• How pride hijacks prayer and fuels conflicts over territory, not truth
• Why humility is an invitation to intimacy with God
• Living with perspective: remembering life's brevity changes everything

Key Quote: "Pride is a repellent. The thing that we pursue to be first and most important is what actually pushes people away from us, including God. Whereas humility is an open invitation to come into relationship."
