False Humility: Demons kneel. We don't.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this week’s Temple Keepers Podcast, Matthew opens his heart in a way few ever do.
With trembling honesty and soul-shaking conviction, he holds up a mirror—not to shame, but to free. Free from pride. Free from ego. Free from the lies we’ve believed for too long.
He asks one question:
Why are demons quicker to kneel before Jesus than we are?
From Scripture in Mark 5 to his own personal struggles, Matthew unpacks how false humility, perfectionism, and shame are really masks for ego… and how true healing begins the moment we admit: “I can’t—but He can.”
Through gut-punching stories, vulnerable examples from his marriage, and powerful reminders of God's truth, you'll see yourself in this episode. You’ll see how easily we edge God out while thinking we’re doing everything “right.”
But it’s not too late.
God doesn’t need your strength. He wants your surrender.
Whether you're someone who’s:
beating yourself up over a cookie,
terrified to walk into a gym,
hiding behind “I know what to do,” or
striving to be perfect every single day...
This episode is for you.
Here's What You’ll Learn:
How ego hides behind false humility and shame
Why your self-talk might be keeping you stuck
The spiritual trap of perfectionism (and how to break it)
What true humility looks like in your health, home, and walk with Christ
The difference between conviction and condemnation
How to take radical responsibility—and finally get free
