College Ave Podcast

Why is it so difficult to hear the truth about ourselves, even when it comes from someone who loves us? Pastor Chris Hilken builds on Sunday's sermon from Ecclesiastes 6 and 7, exploring the contrast between wisdom and foolishness and why genuine spiritual growth often requires uncomfortable conversations. Join us as we examine how our culture's pursuit of comfort has influenced the way we receive correction, why our instinct is to defend ourselves against criticism, and what it really means to "fire the lawyer" living inside our heads. This conversation challenges us to move beyond defensiveness and embrace godly mentorship and correction.
