The One Loud Voice podcast was created to cultivate discipleship. As followers of Jesus, our goal should be to look and act like Him more each day. The episodes on this broadcast are intended to encourage you in your journey and provide real life challenges to help you grow.
In this episode, we discuss Jesus' prayer in John 17. It's an amazing prayer that He specifically says is not just for His twelve disciples but for ALL who believe in Him.

Matthew 7:7-12 NASB
Jesus is saying that we need to put our trust and reliance in God for our lives and the things we need.
This is a root issue. If we don’t trust God, then we will take control to gain what we want and need by our own efforts.
This is where things go south. Selfishness, greed, comparison, self preservation, desperation, fear, extreme need - all ...

Q2: What does false humility look like?
