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.
