Friendship with the World: Lust, Pride and the Split Heart

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast, where we now examine James chapter 4, verse 1-6, which shows how worldly desires—lust, envy and pride—fuel internal battles, church conflicts, and separation from God. James explains that friendship with the world leads to turmoil both within the person and among believers.

The episode urges listeners to examine their hearts, repent, ask God with humble motives, and rely on God’s grace to replace worldliness with true, peaceful faith.
