It is a deep dive into whether wanting to be great is a holy pursuit or a dangerous trap.</p><p><br></p><p>Ambition is often viewed as a double edged sword. While it can drive us to achieve great things for the Kingdom, it can also lead us down a path of pride and narcissism if left unchecked. Pastor Debleaire Snell, Pastor David Person, and Pastor Kirk Nugent break down the difference between a healthy drive and the attention economy that fuels modern narcissism. They discuss how even the disciples struggled with the desire for greatness and how Jesus redirected them toward a life of service.</p><p><br></p><p>You will also hear personal stories about the importance of timing and motives. Whether it is the humorous reality of wanting a talent you do not actually possess or the serious business of launching a new ministry project, the hosts emphasize that our mission must always come before our position. Learn how to investigate your motives before you invest your time and why burying your talents out of fear is just as dangerous as unchecked ambition.</p><p><br></p><p>#faith #ambition #christianleadership #purpose #breathoflife</p>
