Episode Description from the Publisher

Anger doesn’t just appear out of nowhere.Most of the time…There’s something deeper underneath it. In this episode, I will uncover one of the most overlooked causes of anger...wounded pride. Using the story of Balaam in Numbers 22, we walk through how pride quietly works beneath the surface: It makes us feel disrespected It causes us to assume the worst It turns small irritations into real angerIt makes everything personal It blinds us to the truth And it leads us to attack the wrong target The truth is a lot of our anger isn’t caused by what actually happened…it’s caused by how our pride feels about what happened.If we don’t deal with the root, we’ll keep producing the same fruit. “If you only deal with anger, you’ll never fix the problem… because anger is the fruit, pride is the root.” If you have questions, thoughts, or want to connect:Email: Highercausepodcast@gmail.com  Instagram: @highercausepodcast
