About this episode

Gerald discusses the meekness of wisdom in James, highlighting warnings against selfish ambition and pride.

This Sunday, Gerald helped us consider the meekness of wisdom that Christians are called to in James. The passage has some stern warnings about the dangers of selfish ambition and pride, as well as a call to true love of neighbor instead of a conflict-avoidant people-pleasing.
