Pride

In this devotional, you’ll learn how to recognize narcissistic patterns in Christian leaders, understand their impact, and respond with wisdom and clarity. Discover how to stay grounded in truth, set healthy boundaries, and walk in freedom without losing your faith.

Navigating Narcissistic Christian Leaders

What was so important to Jesus that He willingly gave up a comfortable life? A sense of pride or importance? Or well-deserved payback? He didn’t want these things like we would expect. But the more He rejected the normal path to success, the more His impact grew. Jesus didn’t want any of these things—instead He was after a different way of living. Better than anything we could imagine.  

He Gets Us: What Jesus Gave Up | Plan 7

Does your critical spirit crush your spouse or rob your marriage of companionship? Has your spouse said you are critical? Constantly judging yourself and others will hold you back from being fully vulnerable and transparent with your spouse. God has better for your marriage. In this 5-day plan by Tiffany Miller, we take a biblical look at how to cut the criticism and cultivate companionship. 

Cut the Criticism and Cultivate Companionship in Your Marriage

Naaman’s story in 2 Kings 5 shows us that God can use the most unlikely people and circumstances to bring us to Him. A powerful commander, Naaman had wealth, influence, and success, yet he also had leprosy, a condition he could not fix. His healing did not come through power or riches, but through humility and obedience to God’s word.

This 5-day study explores how God uses the overlooked, calls us to trust Him in weakness, and invites us to humble obedience that leads to transformation.

Naaman: From Pride to Humility

Are you easily irritated, quick to anger, or hard to approach? Scripture teaches that love is not provoked—it is patient, kind, and selfless. This series will help you recognize irritability as sin, understand its selfish roots, and replace it with Christlike love. True transformation begins when we submit to God and let His love reshape our hearts.

Love Is Not Provoked

David’s story is one of caves, calling, and the God who delivers. This five-day devotional draws from 1 Samuel 24–25 and the Psalms to explore what strongholds really are—places of refuge that can either protect or confine. Each day invites you to walk with David through Scripture, reflect on your own patterns of hiding, and experience the freedom that comes when God becomes your true stronghold. Journey through the wilderness with the shepherd-king and discover how God turns our seasons of hiding into testimonies of healing, deliverance, and restored purpose.

David's Stronghold: Finding Freedom in the Wilderness

Pride is the quiet enemy of every leader. It convinces us our view is the only view and our strength is all we need. But, God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. This devotional is for those who want to trade the fleeting satisfaction of ego for the lasting strength of humility. 

Join us as we explore what it means to lead with a servant's heart, remain teachable, and build a life founded on God's greatness, not our own.
