The Predominant Fault — Divine Intimacy Radio, Episode 176 (~3.8 min)

The predominant fault defined: "the sin towards which you gravitate the most that ultimately is the root of all your other sins." Discusses pride, vanity, and sensuality.

Everyone has a predominant fault — one root tendency that feeds most of their sins. Dan Burke identifies three categories: (1) Pride — "I'm better than others; I deserve more; my way is right." (2) Vanity — "What do others think of me? I need approval and recognition." (3) Sensuality — "I want comfort, pleasure, ease; I avoid anything difficult." Identifying your predominant fault is like finding the main root of a weed.

Sort 12 behaviours into "Pride," "Vanity," or "Sensuality."

Which category resonates most honestly? Don't overthink it — your first instinct is often right. Write it down privately.
