Pride feels like flying — until you realize you never had a parachute. In Part 2 of this series, Ian Velasco dives into Proverbs 18 to expose how pride quietly turns us into fools who would rather talk than listen, react than respond, and refuse help rather than admit weakness. Through raw personal stories and scripture, this episode reveals why depending on God is not weakness — it's the only real strength we have. If you've ever let your ego cost you something you couldn't get back, this one will hit home.
