Colby Eldredge: Trading Pride for Purpose and Faith

I realized that is the healthiest place for me to be. I need to be really cautious lest I stumble. Being married has brought up some other things, and I think it would be really healthy for me to walk through it again, because it's not that we stop sins, we swap sins. And so if it's not pride, it's pornography, it's not control, it's anger.
Ever wondered what happens when you trade worldly success for spiritual fulfillment? Colby Eldredge’s story might just answer that. In this episode of 'Real Recovery', Colby, the Men’s Director of re:generation at Watermark Church in Dallas, opens up about his transformative journey. Once driven by a high-flying career and a picturesque relationship, Colby found himself feeling empty and lost. The turning point came when he decided to surrender his pride and seek God’s love instead. Colby’s path wasn’t straightforward.
His father’s deployment to Afghanistan left him grappling with feelings of abandonment and a rigid perception of God. But a friend’s invitation to The Porch at Watermark Church changed everything. There, Colby discovered a community that embraced him and helped him experience God’s grace in a way he never had before. One of the most striking elements of Colby’s story is his emphasis on the power of confession and vulnerability.
By openly sharing his struggles with addiction and past traumas, he found a sense of freedom and healing. He warns against the dangers of pride, which can lead to isolation and hinder personal growth. Colby’s experience underscores the importance of community in recovery and spiritual development. His journey serves as a powerful reminder that true happiness and fulfillment come from surrendering our pride and seeking a deeper connection with God.
For anyone battling addiction or feeling spiritually lost, this episode offers hope and practical insights on finding strength through faith and community support.
