Humility: Disciple’s Guide to a Humble Life
by JesusWalk Bible Study Series · 12 episodes
ReligionSpiritualityChristianity
Humility is a close cousin to selfless, agape love, but often misunderstood. It is attractive when we see genuine humility in others, but how to discern pride and work towards humility in ourselves is often elusive. This podcast examines all the important New Testament passages on humility in order to help disciples learn to humble themselves and serve others with true humility. This is part of the JesusWalk Bible Study Series, with Dr. Ralph F. Wilson.
