Cultivating Humility

To actually become more humble people, we need to know what humility is, what some of the common obstacles to humility are, and how we can intentionally cultivate this virtue in our daily lives. The 10 Day Humility Challenge will help you do just that.

What you’ll get:

• A deeper understanding of the Christian virtue of humility grounded in the Scriptures.
• A clearer insight into where you are on the journey toward being a more humble person.
• Over 25 daily practices to try that can help you actually grow in humility, each of which can be repeated indefinitely.

10 days is just a start. Growing in humility is a lifelong process. The Humility Challenge is set up for you to repeat in its entirety any time you’d like. Or you might select particular exercises or reflections that are most useful to you personally, and do those again in the future. Once you have the emails, they are of course yours for life to return to, repeat, and adapt to your own life and circumstances.

It would also be good to do this challenge with one or more other people. Going through the 10 days with someone else will enrich and deepen the experience.
