Drawing from the etymology of ego, biblical examples like Nebuchadnezzar and Ahithophel, and personal testimony about performance-based identity, this episode unpacks why ego and the Holy Spirit cannot lead you at the same time. You'll walk away with a practical, scripture-rooted framework — Examine, Pause, Align (EPA) — to recognize and interrupt these patterns before they damage what matters most. If this episode spoke to you, hit follow so you don't miss the next conversation — and give a rating.📩 Connect with UwemEmail: [[email protected]]📲 Follow me on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uwemakpanofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/godlyconversationspodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/iamuwemakpanFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/uwemakpanofficialTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@uwemakpanofficial
