July 13 – When Humility Finds Me

Real humility doesn't show up as a decision — it shows up as a byproduct of finally letting go of the wheel. Today Pastor Mike and Corey dig into what it looks like when the "director" instinct kicks in — needing everyone else to hit their marks like actors in your scene — and why relinquishing that control is where the actual peace shows up. They work through the Big Book's Doctor's Opinion (and briefly lose track of exactly which doctor wrote it — leaving the mix-up in, because that's kind of the point), land on the Twelfth Tradition's case for anonymity as a guard against ego, and end up somewhere unexpected: sometimes the most humble prayer you can pray is for yourself. The stone for today: Humility is not something I achieve. It is something that grows when I stop living for myself.
