Description

Ever feel like you’re working way too hard to be "the best" at everything? Most of us are exhausted from trying to keep up an image, but Jesus has a totally different (and much more relaxing) way to live.

In this part of our Gospel of Matthew series, we’re talking about the "Good Person" trap. Even the best people struggle with pride. It’s the thing that secretly messes up our marriages, our parenting, and our peace of mind. Jesus points us to a surprising teacher on how to be "great": a child. Turns out, the secret to a better life isn't more ego. It's more humility.
