Humility | Dave Dummitt

Willow Creek Weekend Podcast

When you think about the leaders in your life, be it your boss, a parent, teacher, governor, or president; do you wish for them to lead with hubris, or humility? Hubris leads a person to inflated self-importance, which in turn leads to pride and over-confidence. Humble leadership, as demonstrated by Moses in the Bible, necessitates a person putting others before themselves, and not relying entirely on their own way of thinking. In the story of Moses, he is face-to-face with God on numerous occasions, and each time Moses realizes that his leadership is weak without God. When we look at Moses’ life, we see a man of humility—even if his story isn’t always that way. This week, Pastor Dave looks at Moses’s response to his father-in-law’s instructions in Exodus 18, and various other parts of the story of Moses, to learn what leading with humility looks like.
