In this vulnerable episode of Faith Lived Out, I confess my own battle with pride in marriage and how it nearly destroyed my joy, my relationship with my husband, and my witness to my children. If you've ever struggled with control, defensiveness, or feeling like you know better than your husband, you're not alone. I've been there, and I'm sharing my personal stories of how pride gripped my heart and the biblical path to Christ-like humility that transformed my Christian marriage.
To prepare for this episode, I gave my husband the very rare opportunity to tell me how my pride adversely affected our marriage. From this, I share of how I accused him of thinking I was "stupid" just because he disagreed and of a time when I let my prideful heart steal my joy with my grandkids.
Today, isn't just about teaching, it's my testimony. Listen now to hear how God transformed my prideful heart and discover hope for your own journey toward biblical humility in marriage.
Let's get started.
