In this episode, I break open why humility, obedience, unity, and a teachable spirit are essential for becoming a saint — and how a bad attitude can quietly push you toward heterodoxy, division, or even apostasy. Featuring commentary on a Colorado Springs schismatic group and what their story reveals about the dangers of spiritual pride.Follow me on X | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | DiscordKEY HIGHLIGHTS (Bullet Points for Description or Show Notes)
