The Humility Project for Men Study Guide , the 8-session companion to The Humility Project for Men devotional, helps men grow in humility before God and in their relationships with others. Not to be confused with silence or weakness, humility is first about how you live before God, dependent on him, with a teachable heart. This small group resource by bestselling author Edward T. Welch will help men explore how to build their lives on the God who came to earth as the humble servant Jesus. Together, participants will explore the transformative power of humility, contrasting it with the destructive nature of pride, through passages such as Psalm 40, Philippians 3, and James 4. The group setting can provide accountability and encouragement as men talk openly, pray for one another, and share their stories of pride and humility. Ultimately the aim is for readers to grow in applying humility in real-life situations, including relationships, work, and personal struggles. Through daily devotional readings from The Humility Project for Men , group discussions, and actionable steps, participants will be equipped to cultivate humility in their daily lives. - Each of the six weekly meetings focuses on specific themes such as understanding humility and pride, addressing anger and conflict, and overcoming shame. - Practical exercises guide men in identifying areas of pride, discussing good and bad complaining, and updating personal “resumes” to reflect humility. “This is a gem of a study, filled with wisdom. Ed traces the silent thread of humility (or its lack) through our sins and our virtues.” Paul E. Miller, Author of A Praying Church and J-Curve: Dying and Rising With Christ in Everyday Life “In a world where humility often feels scarce, Ed Welch offers men a rich, grace-filled invitation to rediscover this vital virtue. Drawing from years of counseling experience and deep biblical insight, he helps participants see humility not as weakness but as Christlikeness—continually lifting our eyes to Jesus, the true model of a humble heart.” Jonathan D. Holmes, Interim Executive Director, CCEF “This is vintage Ed Welch. In this study guide, things we thought we knew about pride and humility are revisited in ways that draw participants into personal engagement with Christ. This is a humility project that will bless your soul.” Steve Midgley, Executive Director, Biblical Counselling UK “Ed Welch shepherds us gently toward our humble Savior.

Cheong , Executive Director, Gospel Care Ministries; author of Restore: Changing How We Live and Love and Restoration Story: Why Jesus Matters in a Broken World “This small group resource takes men on a journey toward the freedom only humility can bring: freedom from pride, from insecurity, and from the torment of comparative thinking. Take the challenge—you won't regret it.” Brad Hambrick, Pastor of Counseling, The Summit Church; author of Transformative Friendships “This study gives men a new way of seeing humility, and it’s a gift.

I can’t wait to invite the men I shepherd to join me on this path.” Greg Norfleet, Director of Counseling Ministry, Briarwood Presbyterian Church “While pride is always lurking and luring us, it is the humility of Christ that truly captures the heart.
