Growing in Humility: A Gospel-Shaped Life of Grace and Dependence

Humility is a defining mark of the Christian life, yet it is often misunderstood. Some confuse humility with weakness, while others struggle to understand how it develops in everyday life. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how humility grows through a right view of God, a deep understanding of the gospel, and a life shaped by serving others and depending on the Lord. Drawing from Philippians 2:3–5, James 4:6–10, and 1 Peter 5:6–7, this episode provides biblical clarity and practical direction for cultivating humility in daily life. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why humility begins with God's greatness • How grace produces true humility • Why serving others shapes the Christian heart • How dependence on God deepens spiritual maturity Humility is not thinking less of yourself—it is seeing God rightly and living in light of His grace.
