About this episode
Sometimes life brings us down. Difficult situations cause us to become discouraged. This is natural (and inevitable). But here's another kind of discouragement that comes from a sense of "I should be better than this", or, "I thought I was better than that". Believe it or not, the root of that discouragement is pride—a desire to be strong without God's help. Today, Fr. Mike breaks down this phenomenon, helps us to recognize it, and gives us some tips to let go and draw our strength from God alone. Support The Fr. Mike Schmitz Catholic Podcast
