The Swelling Before The Fall

Swelling is never neutral—it’s always a sign. In Scripture, swelling often represents pride, ego, or sin rising beneath the surface, signaling that something deeper needs to be addressed. Just like physical swelling warns of hidden infection, spiritual swelling warns of a heart issue that can lead to collapse if ignored.

Join Dr. Rusty as we explore how strength taken too far becomes pride, how pride swells before destruction, and how Jesus modeled the opposite—humility, surrender, and self-emptying. When we surrender our “swelling,” we make room for healing.
