Pride Is a Terrible Business Partner
Manage episode 488256958 series 3670687
Pride overpromises—and always crashes the deal. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, we explore Proverbs 16:18 and the quiet danger that pride brings to leadership, relationships, and decision-making. Scripture doesn’t pull punches: pride comes before destruction. Whether you’re building a brand or navigating your next big step, wisdom begins with laying your ego down.
In This Episode:
- How pride blinds us to risk—and wisdom
- What Proverbs teaches about the fall that follows arrogance
- How humility opens the door to godly success
Takeaway:
If you want to stand firm, kneel first. Humility is the foundation wisdom builds on.
