Bible Lab S2 Ep.28 - The Way of Wisdom (Psalm 144 - Proverbs 16)

The Way of Wisdom

We all need someone to coach us through our daily decision making and give us advice from time to time. Think of Proverbs that way; like a coach, a mentor, or a wise old friend who's got enough salt in their beard to help you avoid the tough lessons that go along with growing up. Proverbs is a collection of "wise sayings" of King Solomon (with a couple cameos from other wisdom thinkers of the day) given to us by God to help us recognize wisdom and foolishness in our daily choices. Don't underestimate the power of wise living to alleviate the headaches we naturally create for ourselves! In this episode, Joel and Jake explore lessons on listening to lady wisdom.
