9 OCT 2026 · Pride is not always loud, obvious, or easy to recognize. It can quietly enter through spiritual gifts, personal accomplishments, public praise, and even our attempts to become more Christlike.
In “The Danger of Pride,” Patrick Davidson and Michael Arnold examine Paul’s thorn in the flesh and the lesson that God’s strength is made perfect in human weakness. They discuss why Christians often pray for humility while resisting the very circumstances God may use to humble them—and why conquering pride requires more than determination or willpower.
Through Scripture, personal testimony, and the memorable story of an acorn-headed lizard, this episode explores surrender, correction, spiritual blindness, and the transforming presence of Jesus. Like water filling the lowest places first, God’s grace fills the heart willing to become low, empty, and completely dependent upon Him.

9 OCT 2026 · What does it truly mean to die to self and live for Christ?
In “Emptied of Self, Filled With Christ,” Patrick Davidson and Michael Arnold explore the surrender, humility, and transformation at the heart of the Christian life. Dying to self is not about losing our identity or value—it is releasing our selfish desires, personal glory, and stubborn will so the Holy Spirit can form the character of Jesus within us.
Through Scripture, personal testimony and practical examples, Patrick and Michael discuss accepting humbling circumstances as opportunities for grace, serving others without seeking recognition and choosing God’s will over our own. As we identify with the death and resurrection of Jesus, His love, power, and presence can fill the space once occupied by pride and self-interest.
The Christian life is not simply about becoming a better version of ourselves. It is about emptying ourselves of self and being transformed into the likeness of Christ.

25 SEP 2026 · Humility is not a spiritual destination we reach once and permanently possess. It is a choice believers must make again and again.
Patrick Davidson and Michael Arnold welcome Ginny Rapini to share her journey from an atheist upbringing and early conversion through legalism, church rejection, bitterness, and nearly two decades of spiritual wandering. Ginny explains how God eventually drew her back through the Mentoring Sacred Arts humbling guide—and then exposed layers of pride she did not realize remained.
Her testimony includes a difficult act of forgiveness, the surprising pride she felt afterward, and the lesson that pride sits at the root of every sin while humility supports every virtue. She also discusses SHAW—surrendering, humbling, abiding, waiting, and listening—and how that approach shaped her work as a mentor and servant leader.
The conversation explores the “day of no retort,” learning to listen without immediately defending ourselves, and why spiritual maturity never eliminates the need for daily surrender.
Ginny closes with a simple challenge: treasure God—not merely what He provides, but God Himself.

11 SEP 2026 · Can someone appear deeply religious while remaining consumed by pride?
Michael Arnold and Patrick Davidson examine the inseparable relationship between holiness and humility. Beginning with Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, they explore how thanksgiving, confession, biblical knowledge, and outward religious behavior can become counterfeit holiness when the heart still considers itself superior to others.
The conversation turns to the Apostle Paul, whose awareness of his past never became empty self-condemnation. Instead, remembering God's grace kept him dependent on Christ and empowered him to serve with patience, kindness, compassion, and humility.
True humility does not come from obsessing over our failures. It grows when self disappears in God's presence, pride yields to grace, and Christ's indwelling life begins shaping how we treat everyone around us.
The holiest person will always be the most humble because genuine holiness makes less room for self—and more room for Jesus.

4 SEP 2026 · Can we truly claim to humble ourselves before God if humility is absent from the way we treat the people around us?
Patrick Davidson and Michael Arnold continue their study of the Mentoring Sacred Arts humbling guide by examining how Christlike humility shows up in ordinary relationships. They explain why prayer, worship, knowledge, and spiritual gifts cannot substitute for compassion, kindness, patience, gentleness, and a willingness to serve others.
The conversation explores the difference between genuine humility and self-deprecation, the relationship between love and service, and the danger of believing we are humble without asking those closest to us what they actually experience.
Patrick and Michael also introduce a practical “humility test”: ask a spouse, parent, friend, roommate, employer, or mentor whether your behavior reflects the love and humility of Christ—and receive the answer without defending yourself.
The episode concludes with a prayer asking the Father to reveal and remove every form of pride while awakening the sacred art of humbling ourselves to the indwelling presence of Christ and the Holy Spirit.

28 AUG 2026 · Humility is not simply a feeling or a private spiritual virtue. It becomes a habit—a daily decision to surrender pride, serve others, and remain attentive to Christ.
Patrick Davidson and Michael Arnold continue their journey through the Mentoring Sacred Arts Humbling Guide by examining the disciplined life of service traditionally embraced by nuns. From the “habit of humility” to the surrender of possessions and personal attachments, they explore how outward practices can open the way to deeper intimacy with Christ.
The conversation then turns to the limits of human willpower. Believers may not possess the natural ability to become Christlike, but a sincere desire for transformation allows the indwelling presence of Christ and the Holy Spirit to accomplish what human effort cannot.
Through Scripture, personal reflection, humor, and prayer, Patrick and Michael challenge Christians to consider how often they remember Christ throughout the day—and whether serving God and His children has truly become a way of life.

22 AUG 2026 · What does true humility look like? Michael Arnold and Patrick Davidson examine Jesus’ repeated declarations in the Gospel of John that He did nothing on His own, sought the Father’s will instead of His own, and did not depend on human praise.
Through Scripture, personal testimony, and lessons from the Mentoring Sacred Arts' humbling guide, they explore Christ’s complete surrender to the Father—and what His example means for believers confronting pride, serving difficult people, and learning to depend fully on God.
The conversation concludes with a prayer asking the Father to expose and remove every form of pride and awaken a deeper surrender to the indwelling life of Christ.

14 AUG 2026 · Pride isn't always loud, boastful, or easy to spot. It can hide behind spiritual accomplishments, influence, money, family heritage, personal success, judgment of others, or even the habit of diminishing the gifts God has given us.
In "The Kinds, Forms, and Degrees of Pride," Patrick Davidson and Michael Arnold explore the difference between outward and inward pride—and why Christians must ask God to reveal what may be hidden within their hearts. They explain that genuine humility is not self-hatred or pretending we have no value. It means thinking of ourselves less, depending fully upon God, and allowing the character of Jesus Christ to take shape within us.
Through biblical teaching, personal experiences, and lessons from the Humbling Guide, this episode examines sanctification as a lifelong journey of surrender, humility, and abiding in Christ. Pride may lie near the root of every sin, but the humility of Jesus provides the soil in which faith, love, joy, strength, and every other Christian virtue can grow.

31 JUL 2026 · What does genuine Christian humility look like, and why is it essential to spiritual growth?
In “Three Great Motives to Be Humble,” Patrick Davidson and Michael Arnold begin exploring the Humbling Guide from Mentoring Sacred Arts, drawing from the timeless teachings of pastor and author Andrew Murray. They examine how pride can quietly remain hidden—even in experienced Christians—and how surrender, correction, spiritual discipline, and a teachable heart allow Christ to reshape us from within.
The conversation explores Andrew Murray’s personal journey toward humility, including his initial resistance to an unexpected revival and the prolonged loss of his preaching voice. Those difficult experiences became opportunities for deeper surrender, greater compassion, and a life increasingly marked by tenderness, kindness, and service.
Patrick and Michael also discuss the five sacred arts of spiritual transformation: surrendering to God, humbling ourselves, abiding in Christ, waiting on God, and listening to His voice. The episode emphasizes that transformation is not achieved by rushing through a study or attending a single revival meeting. It develops through daily encounters with Jesus, prayer, reflection, mentoring, accountability, and acting upon what God reveals.
The program closes with the Humbling Prayer and a reminder that human strength, relationships, and accomplishments will always have limits—but Jesus Christ remains present through every struggle, loss, fear, and season of growth.
