Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker

Lies, betrayal, and double-crossing. There's no shortage of people who did these things in the Bible. But this new series won't be about the people who were traitors.Instead, Dr. Bruce Becker will talk about the ATTITUDES that can turn us into actual traitors—when we can end up betraying God, others, and ourselves. Included in these traitorous attitudes are the seven deadly sins—but there are far more in number. Dr. Becker will include three additional traitorous attitudes for this ten-part series.

In today's episode, Dr. Becker looks at pride. We'll discover why pride is often considered the worst of the deadly sins, how it was communicated in its original form in Greek and Hebrew in the Bible, and how we can prevent ourselves from becoming filled with pride.

Dr. Becker cites the article, "6 Insights From C.S. Lewis on Why Pride Is the Greatest Sin" from Chris Bolinger: https://bit.ly/3ozycrf

What is Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker?

The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God’s truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy.
