His response offers a powerful model for modern professionals navigating ambition, identity, and purpose.Together, we’ll reflect on:Why God’s covenant with David was never about David’s meritHow Psalm 8 reorients our view of ourselves and God’s majestyThe danger of personal branding in spiritual disguiseHow to audit the story our lives are telling the worldIf you’ve ever wrestled with ambition, image, or influence, this episode will challenge and encourage you to embrace the wisdom of humility and live for the One whose name truly matters.🎧 Tune in now and join the movement to think more critically, live more strategically, and make much of God.Show Notes:Song - “Who Am I?” by Casting Crowns https://youtu.be/3rT8Re1EIQc?si=Knx_TMwPFPzZv2t1Song - “Psalm 8 (How Majestic is Your Name)” by Shane & Shane https://youtu.be/YCHawLzdGJE?si=6LQB8MNHT8s0GiqAYou can order the devotionals at https://amzn.to/4h8zFe6 or https://wisdomcalling.orgFollow us on Instagram: @wisdomcallingnow
