Confronting the Roots of Spiritual Pride | Rob Laidlaw
In this episode of The Healthy Christian Leader Show, host Dwight Habermehl sits down with Rob Laidlaw, a pastor, to discuss a vital but often overlooked topic in leadership health: pride. They explore how pride distorts our understanding of who we are, both in our relationship with God and in how we interact with others. Rob emphasizes that pride manifests not only as overconfidence but also in low self-worth, both stemming from deep insecurity and fear. They discuss how pride can damage relationships, both in the form of people-pleasing and aggressive behavior, and how it hinders authentic love and service. The conversation also touches on practical steps for leaders to humble themselves, recognizing their true worth in God, and how to embrace humility by remembering our created identity. Both leaders and followers of Christ can learn how to identify and address the impact of pride in their lives and leadership.
