Guest's bio:
Sean Tritt grew up as one of Jehovah's Witnesses starting at the age of eight. However, he was disfellowshipped at 21 and then embarked on a prodigal journey lasting over 15 years. During this period, Sean experienced the emptiness of living without God. This journey ultimately led him to develop deep compassion for those still trying to navigate life without faith.
Proverbs 3:5-6 has been a cornerstone scripture in Sean's life, teaching him to truly trust in the Lord. Today, Sean is grateful to be a blessed father of two and is engaged to Nikka. She is wonderful, adorable, and also his best friend.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of humble bragging. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's that sneaky way people have of tooting their own horn while pretending to be all modest about it. And let's be real, we see it all the time on social media and even in our day-to-day chats.
We're getting real here, sharing some of our own stories, and, trust me, we've got some pretty funny ones that'll have you chuckling. But it's not all laughs; we're also getting serious about the need to be mindful of why we say what we say. It's amazing how the Holy Spirit can nudge us towards the right intentions if we just pay attention.
We're inviting you to join us on this journey of self-discovery. Let's take a hard look at our conversations. Are we seeking likes and validation, or are we striving for authenticity? We're all about ditching the humble brags and embracing genuine connections. you won't want to miss this episode.
