Descripción

Pride is sneaky. Most of us don’t think we’re prideful… until something pushes back on us. In this episode, we talk about what it looks like when pride finally gets checked. Not in a dramatic, lightning-bolt way, but through moments of truth, correction, and uncomfortable self-awareness. Drawing from a story in the Book of Mormon (no prior knowledge required), we explore why humility can be so hard, why feedback can sting, and how growth usually shows up disguised as inconvenience. This conversation isn’t about being shamed or “put in your place.” It’s about noticing the patterns that keep us stuck — defensiveness, self-justification, the need to be right — and what changes when we’re willing to soften instead of dig in. If you’re familiar with the Book of Mormon, you’ll recognize the pride cycle right away. If you’re not, you’ll still find plenty here that applies to leadership, relationships, faith, and everyday life. Ancient scripture turns out to be surprisingly relevant when it comes to human behavior. We talk about: * Why pride is easier to spot in others than in ourselves * How correction can actually be a gift * The difference between humility and weakness * Why God teaches through experience, not force * What it looks like to choose growth over ego Whether you’re active in the LDS faith, on the edges, or just curious about how scripture connects to real life, this episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and ask an honest question: What happens when I stop resisting being taught?

The Soul Winning Success Stack

What does it really mean to “win souls” — and why does the Book of Mormon talk about it so boldly? In this episode, we explore the phrase “how to win many souls” and what it teaches about love, influence, and Christlike leadership. Drawing from the Book of Mormon, we look at why the desire to help others comes from compassion, not pressure — and how real conversion begins with understanding, patience, and service. This conversation speaks to missionary work, discipleship, and everyday influence, showing how faith grows when it’s rooted in charity and genuine concern for others. Whether you’re familiar with the Book of Mormon or hearing about it for the first time, the principles here apply to teaching, parenting, leadership, and sharing belief without contention.
