What does true humility look like? In this episode of The Resting Place podcast, we dismantle our cultural misunderstandings about humility. Far from self-deprecation or thinking poorly of ourselves, genuine humility means agreeing with heaven's perspective of who we are—beloved, righteous, and seated in heavenly places with Christ.

Through an intimate exploration of three powerful biblical narratives—the widow of Nain, St. Veronica (the woman with the issue of blood), and St. Fotini (the Samaritan woman at the well)—we discover a consistent pattern in Jesus's ministry. He consistently inserts himself into our most broken spaces with extraordinary kindness rather than judgment.

This revelation addresses a profound spiritual challenge many of us face: we anticipate judgment when God approaches with kindness. We withdraw when he draws near, trapped in "Adam's delusion of separation." Yet, as we learn to recognize God's true nature, we can break this cycle and experience his presence in our lowest moments.

Perhaps the most transformative insight comes through a powerful quote shared during the conversation: "Following Jesus is not doing it right, but realizing we're doing it wrong." In a world desperately seeking authenticity, there's no greater witness than a family walking in the wholeness that comes from knowing they are completely loved—not despite their brokenness, but right in the middle of it.
