June is often associated with “Pride Month,” but in this episode of Dad Jokes and Discernment, we take a different approach—turning the conversation toward what Scripture actually says about pride itself.

This isn’t a conversation about elevating one group over another; it’s a biblical look at pride as a sin that shows up in every human heart. From Isaiah 14 and the fall of Lucifer, to the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18, to Paul’s teaching in Romans 1 and Titus 3:5, we trace how pride exalts self, resists repentance, and blinds us to our need for a Savior.

But the story doesn’t stop at the problem. Philippians 2:5–11 shows the answer—Jesus Christ, who humbled Himself, became obedient unto death, and is now exalted above every name. The cure for pride is not self-improvement, but Christ-exaltation and gospel humility.

In this episode we talk about:

•  The origin of pride and its connection to rebellion against God 
•  How pride blocks repentance and self-awareness 
•  How culture and even religion can normalize sin 
•  Why salvation is “not by works of righteousness which we have done” (Titus 3:5) 
•  The humility of Christ in contrast to the pride of man (Philippians 2:5–11) 

Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or a believer needing a heart check, this episode calls for honest self-examination before God.
