Episode 169: Death to Self and a Life of Humility - Kanye vs. Cabrini

Author: DJ (David John) April 7, 2024 Duration: 1:12:25
In this message, I look at the issue of dying to self and living a life of humility.I begin by comparing two very different Christians - Kanye and the Roman Catholic nun Frances Cabrini (1850-1917). Clearly, they were given two different "Sign-Up Sheets" for the Christian life. Frances finished well. Kanye is currently very confused calling himself "god".Many Christians today are not getting THIS MESSAGE. They are not being told that we must die to ourselves to begin the Christian life, and they are not being told that the Christian life is a life of ongoing humility. This is a radical departure from the way Christians have viewed the Christian life since the beginning. Going forward, we must get this right. We must repent from the self-focused messages that many pastors and leaders have tragically given and continue to give modern Christians.#deathtoself #selfdeath #humility #dyingtoself #pride #grace #kanye #cabrini #kanyewest

The JOEL 2 GENERATION PODCAST, hosted by DJ (David John), exists for those with a deep, personal hunger for the presence of God, a commitment to His unchanging Word, and a focus on advancing His Kingdom. This isn't about casual religious discussion; it's built on the conviction that a complete Apostolic faith was once delivered to the Church, as referenced in Jude. The core of this podcast is contending for that specific, foundational faith-teaching it, guarding it, and understanding its demands in our current era. DJ explores what it means to be part of the 'Joel 2 Generation' God is summoning now: a faithful and obedient remnant who refuse to settle for spiritual complacency. Listeners will hear a call to pursue everything God intends to release in this unique moment in history. It’s for those who feel a stirring for more than tradition, who desire a faith that is both ancient and urgently contemporary. Each episode delves into scripture and Spirit-led perspective, challenging believers to move beyond surface-level Christianity into a life fully aligned with God's will. The conversation here is direct, rooted in biblical authority, and focused on practical obedience. Tuning in means joining a community dedicated to becoming the people God is raising up for such a time as this-a people defined by their hunger, their fidelity, and their active participation in a divine story much larger than themselves. This is a podcast for the serious, the seeking, and those ready to be part of a generation marked by a wholehearted response.
