The Price of Popularity
A colleague gets the promotion you deserved. A friend’s talents garner more praise than yours. How do you respond when you’re in the shadow of someone else’s limelight?
In this message, Dr. Stanley uses the story of Saul and David to illuminate both the right and the wrong reactions to popularity. Don’t allow renown—either your own or another’s—lure you into jealousy, suspicion, or vengeance. Learn to keep your wits about you and continue to depend on the Lord, no matter your position.

About Dr. Charles Stanley
Dr. Charles Stanley
September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023
Dr. Charles F. Stanley was the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta for more than fifty years. He was also the founder of In Touch Ministries and a New York Times best-selling author, who wrote more than seventy books encouraging people to seek Jesus as their Savior and know Him as their wise and loving Lord.
Known to audiences around the world through his wide-reaching TV and radio broadcasts, Stanley modeled his 65 years of ministry after the apostle Paul’s message in Acts 20:24: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.”
