Is self-promotion ungodly?

In this episode of The Greater Work Podcast, host Sean Gibson tackles one of the most confusing questions believers face in their careers.

Through the dramatic and cautionary story of Absalom, Sean unpacks how unresolved wounds, unchecked ambition, and image-building led Absalom down a path of self-made promotion that ultimately cost him everything.

You’ll discover the nine stages of Absalom’s self-promotion strategy, why it looked successful at first, and how God dismantled a promotion He never authored. Most importantly, Sean shares five biblical principles that show a better way, how humility, character, and trusting God’s timing lead to real promotion that lasts.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you need to “put yourself out there” to be noticed… or felt pressure to advertise your accomplishments to move forward at work… this episode will bring clarity, conviction, and hope.

True promotion doesn’t come from self-effort—it comes from the One who sees your heart, your work, and your readiness.
