  • Ep 169: Breaking Free from Pride, Awareness of God's Boundaries, and Biblical Humility with Joel Muddamalle

    Ep 169: Breaking Free from Pride, Awareness of God's Boundaries, and Biblical Humility with Joel Muddamalle
    Aug 26 2024
    Has pride ever impacted your life? Ready to recognize and address hidden pride in your heart? Bible teacher, theologian, author, podcaster, book coach, husband and father of four, Dr. Joel Muddamalle and I discuss the profound topics of humility and pride. Dr. Joel shares his personal journey, revealing how a humiliating childhood experience shaped his understanding of humility and its significance. He explains that biblical humility is rooted in recognizing God and our true identity as His royal children. Pride, on the other hand, is the elevation of self, leading to chaos and confusion. Dr. Joel emphasizes that humility acts as a protection, prevention, and preservation, and that curiosity without limits can be destructive. The conversation shifts to the crucial role of boundaries and limits in the context of curiosity and desire. Dr. Joel explains how God established boundaries in the pre-fallen world to safeguard Adam and Eve from self-destruction. He clarifies that limits are not punitive but rather a means to prevent us from becoming enslaved to unholy desires. Dr. Muddamalle also explores the concept of hidden pride, which can corrupt the fruit of the Spirit and lead to destructive behavior. He highlights the importance of humility in overcoming pride and accepting our limits and weaknesses. Key Points: Humility: A foundational understanding rooted in recognizing God and our identity as His children. Pride: The elevation of self, leading to chaos and confusion. Boundaries and Limits: Essential for protecting us from self-destruction and enslavement to unholy desires. Hidden Pride: A subtle form of pride that can corrupt the fruit of the Spirit. The Power of Humility: Overcoming pride, accepting limits, and embracing our weaknesses. Tag Joel @muddamalle and I @biancaolthoff to let us know what practical handles you are applying in your daily life. XO, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guest Dr. Joel Muddamalle muddamalle.com Book: The Hidden Peace: Finding True Security, Strength, and Confidence Through Humility Quote Hidden pride is so deceptive because the conversation is happening in the chambers of the human heart. Takeaways Biblical humility starts with an awareness of God and our identity as royal children of God. Pride is the elevation of self and leads to chaos and confusion. Humility is a protection, prevention, and preservation. Curiosity without limits is chaotic. Boundaries and limits were established by God in the pre-fall world to protect us from self-destruction. Limits are not a punishment, but a way to prevent us from becoming enslaved to unholy desires. Hidden pride corrupts the fruit of the Spirit and leads to destructive behavior. Humility is the antidote to pride and helps us accept our limits and weaknesses. Anxiety and shame can be addressed through humility and accepting our weaknesses. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors! ⋇ Subscribe to We’re Going There on your favorite podcast app so you don’t miss out on any of the great topics and conversations.

  • Ep 168: Building Confidence, Making Aligned Decisions, and Embracing the Unexpected with Stephanie May Wilson

    Ep 168: Building Confidence, Making Aligned Decisions, and Embracing the Unexpected with Stephanie May Wilson
    Aug 19 2024
    Do you feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to create a life that you love? Are you ready to take small steps to make it happen? My friend Stephanie May Wilson, a writer, speaker, and podcaster, and I talk about the unique challenges and pressures women face in their 20s and 30s, a time Stephanie calls the "everything era." This is a period marked by significant life decisions, societal expectations, and a whole lot of figuring it out. Stephanie shares her own experiences navigating this tricky terrain and offers some valuable takeaways: Embrace the Power of Choice: The 'everything era' is YOUR time to take the reins and create the life YOU want. It's about aligning your decisions with your values, even when those values don't always align with traditional expectations. Transition to the "I Get to Create It Now Era": Life throws curveballs. Embrace those detours as opportunities for personal growth and course correction. Each challenge is a chance to refine your vision and build the life you love. Don't Be Afraid of Disagreements: Navigating this phase can lead to conflicts with loved ones, especially when it comes to life choices. Use these disagreements as opportunities for open communication and mutual understanding. Listen in as Stephanie shares her personal journey of embracing the "I get to create it now era" and how a move to Spain opened up a whole new chapter of her life. Follow us on social media at @biancaolthoff and @smaywilson. Stay connected with Stephanie through her adventures. XO, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guest Stephanie May Wilson stephaniemaywilson.com Book: Create a Life You Love: How to Quiet Outside Voices So You Can Finally Hear Your Own Quote The 'everything era' is a time of uncertainty and pressure to figure out life. Takeaways The 'everything era' refers to the period in a woman's life, typically in her 20s and 30s, when she is making significant life decisions and facing societal pressures. It's important to define what success and happiness mean to you personally, rather than conforming to societal expectations. The transition from the 'everything era' to the 'I get to create it now era' is a defining moment for personal growth and decision-making. You have the power to decide how you want to live your life and make choices that align with your values and desires. When life doesn't go as expected, you have options: you can quit, keep moving forward, change tactics, or ask for help. Surround yourself with a supportive inner circle who can provide guidance and advice, but ultimately trust yourself to make the best decisions for your life. Creating a life you love may involve making intentional decisions that fit for a season but may not be permanent. Taking control of your own life and making decisions that align with your values and desires can lead to personal fulfillment and happiness. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

  • Ep 167: The Cost of Control, Finding Freedom, and Building Stronger Relationships with Sharon Hodde Miller

    Ep 167: The Cost of Control, Finding Freedom, and Building Stronger Relationships with Sharon Hodde Miller
    Aug 12 2024
    Are you gripping the reins too tightly? Have you ever felt the need to control every aspect of your life, only to realize that control is just an illusion? Today I speak to Sharon Hodde Miller, Pastor, Speaker, Author, and PhD about the often-unacknowledged desire for control. Together, we explore the seductive nature of control, how it often creates illusions of security, and the hidden costs of clinging to it. Some takeaways from our conversation are: Control is an Illusion: We might think we have more control than we actually do, but true control is often fleeting. Exploring the limitations of our influence can be a liberating step. Surrender & Agency: Letting go of control doesn't mean giving up agency. It’s about finding the sweet spot between healthy boundaries and trust, recognizing that relinquishing control can lead to greater peace and flexibility. Cost of Control: Clinging to control can manifest in anxiety, stress, and unhealthy relationships. Sharon highlights the benefits of surrendering control and embracing the power of trust in fostering healthy connections. We also discuss the theological and cultural roots of our obsession with control. Sharon offers practical advice for exercising agency instead of constant control. She also challenges us to embrace the benefits of surrendering control in our personal lives and relationships. Let us know how you are letting go of control by tagging us at @sharonhmiller and me @biancaolthoff. XO, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guest Sharon Hodde Miller Book: The Cost of Control: Why We Crave It, the Anxiety It Gives Us, and the Real Power God Promises Quote The most free we ever were was not in the absence of boundaries, but because of them. Takeaways Control promises security and peace, but it ultimately betrays us, causing anxiety, complexity, and division. The desire for control has theological roots in the story of Adam and Eve and cultural roots in a society that constantly promises control. Letting go of control is important because it costs us more than it gains us. Instead of control, God gives us agency and influence to exercise within the boundaries He has set. Restoring boundaries, such as limiting phone usage, can help us exercise agency and let go of control. Surrendering control can strengthen relationships and build trust. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
