Episode 233Also Available On:Learning HumilityJune 12Leader NotesWhat Humility Is A fake lack of confidence * Unawareness of your giftings * Humility is the absence of pre-occupation with yourself.* + Humility is not thinking less of yourself, humility is thinking of yourself less. CS Lewis

One Reason Humility Is So Important Proverbs 16:18, "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." * Humility reveals the gap that you can grow into.*

Important idea I used to think humility was the default and pride slowly crept in. * I now believer that pride is the default, and humility has to be learned. * Evidence: JJ Reddick & Lebron James podcast. Kids, Staff. * We assume competency and mastery are much closer than they actually are.*

Learning HumilityPart One* People use the phrase "being humbled" * "Humbled" comes at two moments: + When ignorance meets competency + When competency meets mastery * Notes: + Humbled does result in at least a short-term humility. + You don't have to be humbled to be humble.

Part Two Humility is a posture, humbled is an event. Humility is not being unaware of competency, it is believing you have more to learn to reach mastery. * Key: I don't have to be around a master to grow in my mastery. I can learn it from anywhere.* * That's humility: I have room to grow and everyone can help me get there. Share This Podcast!Never Miss A Thing!
