Christians, STOP Frontin'

Even after God has saved us, believers still struggle with pride. How does pride show in the life of believers?

One of the ways is the "fake it to you make it" attitude. This attitude will have us putting on a mask because we want others to think we have it all together. That's pride. God's grace enables us to be transparent.

Another way is when we are not willing to receive help from others. It sounds so humble to say that we don't want to bother others but really that's pride. True humility is being able to receive help when we truly need it.

James 4:6 (ESV): But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

I love this video from Joe Solomon (@WhatIsJoeDoing) where he discusses how believers "front" and gives some wise counsel on being transparent with other believers.
