Pride and Self-Sufficiency

For years, Lionel Messi carried Argentina alone. Tournament after tournament, he gave everything he had. Argentina kept falling short. At some point the question people were asking was whether he would ever stop trying to be the entire answer by himself.

A lot of people know that instinct. The reflex to handle things, to be the person who figures it out. It can come from discipline, work ethic, the kind of upbringing that says you can do anything if you put your head to it. Over time, it can become the only mode you have.

In this session, Pastor Holly shares how she co-founded a software company and built her life on willpower and seventy-hour weeks, what happened when that ceiling finally arrived, and what it cost her. We also look at Nebuchadnezzar, the most powerful man in the ancient world, who looked out over everything he had built and said: "Is this not the great Babylon I have built by my mighty power?" and what happened to him within the hour.

If you've been running entirely on your own and starting to feel the cost of it, this is for you.
