In this episode, we dive deep into the world of humble bragging. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's that sneaky way people have of tooting their own horn while pretending to be all modest about it. And let's be real, we see it all the time on social media and even in our day-to-day chats.

We're getting real here, sharing some of our own stories, and, trust me, we've got some pretty funny ones that'll have you chuckling. But it's not all laughs; we're also getting serious about the need to be mindful of why we say what we say. It's amazing how the Holy Spirit can nudge us towards the right intentions if we just pay attention.

We're inviting you to join us on this journey of self-discovery. Let's take a hard look at our conversations. Are we seeking likes and validation, or are we striving for authenticity? We're all about ditching the humble brags and embracing genuine connections. you won't want to miss this episode.
