Radiant In Real Life with Beth Medley

Welcome to a profound episode of Radiant In Real Life, where Beth delves into the transformative power of humility—a topic she frequently explores with her clients. In a world that often misconstrues humility as weakness, an inability to accept praise, or a lack of confidence in one's abilities, Beth challenges these misconceptions head-on. She passionately contends that false humility is, in reality, a form of pride, for pride manifests in anything that contradicts the truth of God. True humility, she asserts, emerges when we have a correct understanding of ourselves in the light of who God is and what He declares us to be. Beth invites us to embrace a proper perspective of both God's greatness and our own identity. She emphasizes that humility thrives within the context of community, as pride can often lurk in the shadows of our self-awareness, necessitating the presence of trustworthy individuals who can help uncover and confront it. Join us in this eye-opening episode as Beth invites you to reevaluate your understanding of humility, helping you cultivate a right view of both God and yourself. Through community and the transformation of your thought life, you can confront the insidious nature of pride and journey toward the beauty of humility.  - References Edwina Adam's podcast: "Let's Make Some Noise" Brené Brown's 1 inch square reference is from her first book: Daring Greatly - To join the conversation, and connect with Beth follow one of the links below: https://www.instagram.com/radiantinreallife/  https://www.facebook.com/RadiantInRealLife/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethmedleycoaching/  https://www.youtube.com/@RadiantInRealLife/
