Learning Humility

June 12

Leader Notes

What Humility Is
  • A fake lack of confidence
  • Unawareness of your giftings
  • Humility is the absence of pre-occupation with yourself.
    • Humility is not thinking less of yourself, humility is thinking of yourself less. CS Lewis
One Reason Humility Is So Important
  • Proverbs 16:18, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.”
  • Humility reveals the gap that you can grow into.
Important idea
  • I used to think humility was the default and pride slowly crept in.
  • I now believer that pride is the default, and humility has to be learned.
  • Evidence: JJ Reddick & Lebron James podcast. Kids, Staff.
  • We assume competency and mastery are much closer than they actually are.
Learning Humility
Part One
  • People use the phrase “being humbled”
  • “Humbled” comes at two moments:
    • When ignorance meets competency
    • When competency meets mastery
  • Notes:
    • Humbled does result in at least a short-term humility.
    • You don’t have to be humbled to be humble.
Part Two
  • Humility is a posture, humbled is an event. Humility is not being unaware of competency, it is believing you have more to learn to reach mastery.
  • Key: I don’t have to be around a master to grow in my mastery. I can learn it from anywhere.
  • That’s humility: I have room to grow and everyone can help me get there.
