from Godly Conversations Podcast · host Uwem Akpan

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.
