Jeremy Utley - God’s Appointed Protection from Pride
Summary
Jeremy Utley teaches that God uses confusion and difficult circumstances as protective measures against pride, which is a far more serious spiritual enemy than our external struggles. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12 and Paul's thorn in the flesh, he challenges Christians to be grateful for perplexity and the boundaries God appoints in their lives, recognizing that confusion keeps us humble and drives us to seek God rather than trusting in our own understanding.
