In this episode of Walking Defined, Baylee Hefley and Kate Caris reflect on where humility truly begins—at the foot of the cross. Through honest conversation about marriage, unmet expectations, comparison, and spiritual pride, they explore how easily we drift into seeking affirmation and importance when we lose sight of what Jesus has already done for us.

This episode invites listeners to slow down and sit with the Gospel, remembering that the cross is enough to shape our identity, our relationships, and the way we walk with God.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• How pride and comparison quietly take root in everyday life
• Why unmet expectations often reveal deeper heart issues
• The danger of forgetting the cost of the cross
• How busyness pulls us away from humility and gratitude
• Letting go of the need for recognition and learning to live from grace

Scripture referenced:

James 1:23–24 — a reminder that hearing God’s Word without responding is like looking in a mirror and immediately forgetting what we look like.

Romans 7:14 — an honest confession of our human struggle with sin and the tension between knowing what is right and living it out.

Resource mentioned: My Dearest Hemlock by Tilly Dillahey — a modern retelling inspired by The Screwtape Letters that explores spiritual pride and temptation.
