9-29-24 - The Perils of Pride and Persecution | The Faith and Science Podcast

The readings for this week are Esther 7:1-6, 9-10; 9:20-22 and Psalm 124, or Numbers 11:4-6, 10-16, 24-29 and Psalm 19:7-14, with James 5:13-20, and Mark 9:38-50. This week we see how pride and fear often lead to the suppression of new ideas or persecution of individuals. Yet, when Jesus is given an opportunity to be prideful, he chooses to be humble instead and make sure his pride does not get in the way. There is definitely something there that we all could learn from. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:

How do you keep your pride in check? #FaithandSciPod
