This is the MUST LISTEN for every leader right now. This is the conversation I wish someone had with me 10+ years ago as a young leader.
As a leader who would face criticism and slander. As a woman who would face betrayal and offense. But now, in the last two months the Lord has been cleaning out my heart of the lynchpin keeping me suffocated and paralyzed by these encounters: the pride of self-protection.
Self-protection is the backdoor pride that masquerades as humility. The thought that we can caveat our way to approval. The control we seek to manage how everyone thinks about us.
But at its core this 'survival' tactic is actually just pride pretending to be humble. It's survival mode on all cylinders, creating a fortress around ourselves to be our own rescuer, our own defender and our own provider.
Listen love, this wall of protection will eventually start suffocating you.
The stakes are high right now - I feel in my spirit that there is a cleaning house required for this next chapter: and that starts with the state of our own hearts and souls.
In this episode I'm sharing my recent journey processing my own pride of self-protection, with a bold charge for us to repent and purify our hearts for this next chapter with the Lord.
