Pride quietly corrodes your leadership, but humility expands your impact. In this episode, Mikel exposes how pride shows up—and how teachability restores influence.
Pride is subtle, sneaky, and destructive. Mikel shares how pride creeps into leadership through compliments, comparison, and comfort—and how quickly it accelerates collapse. The antidote is humility, which strengthens trust, expands influence, and keeps leaders teachable. Drawing from Proverbs 16:18, he warns that those who resist correction are headed toward destruction, while those who embrace teachability grow faster than ever. This episode calls listeners to self-awareness, repentance, and renewed humility.

Mikel explains that pride begins quietly—through small compliments, comparison, or the belief that we’re above correction. Pride is toxic because it erodes influence, clarity, and trust. Humility keeps us grounded enough to grow. Proverbs 16:18 says pride goes before destruction, and Mikel challenges listeners to identify the areas where they’ve become unteachable and invite God and trusted people back into those spaces.
