Episode 45: Humility
In the 45th episode, Dr. Knabb discusses humility, including what the secular psychology literature has to say, theory- and research-wise, along with a Christian understanding of humility, comparing and contrasting the two. To conclude the episode, Dr. Knabb leads listeners through a short practice, drawing upon a Medieval Christian spiritual writing, to help 21st century Christ followers cultivate and maintain Christlike humility.
