Pride Says “I’ve Got This”; Faith Says “God Already Did”

What if the life you’re striving to build is actually meant to be received? We open Scripture and follow a golden thread from Habakkuk to Romans to explore a bold claim: the just shall live by faith. Not a vague spirituality, but concrete trust in what God has said, and in what Christ has done, right now.

We unpack how the gospel reveals the righteousness of God from faith to faith, why Paul isn’t ashamed of this message, and how it becomes real for anyone—Jew or Gentile—who believes. The law demanded righteousness; the gospel provides it in Jesus. That truth reframes both our standing with God and our daily walk. We move from self-reliance to humble dependence, from managing image to embracing grace, from white-knuckled effort to Spirit-led obedience. Faith is not passive. It listens to the word, believes the promise, and acts on it with a steady, quiet courage.

Along the way, we tackle the pride-versus-humility divide, show why grace flows where we depend on God, and reflect on what it means to receive a righteousness that holds when feelings don’t. We close with praise and a benediction that roots our hope in the One who keeps us from falling and presents us faultless with great joy. If you’re hungry for a faith that is both honest and anchored, this conversation will meet you right where you are and invite you deeper into the grace of Christ.

If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can discover the good news that changes everything.
