Iron Sharpens Iron (Wisdom, Week 6)

But, what does real friendship actually looks like in a world that prizes independence and self-sufficiency? Why does Scripture insist that we need other people? What does it mean for a friend to tell us the truth, even when it hurts? And why is loyalty so rare—and so valuable? Every biblical description of friendship ultimately points us to Jesus Christ, the Friend who remained faithful when everyone else failed, who spoke the truth in love, and who laid down His life for His friends.

The Fall Before the Fall (Wisdom, Week 5)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2460316/fan_mail/new] Texts: Proverbs 11:2; 16:18; 26:12 · Luke 18:9–14 · Philippians 2:1–11 “Pride goes before the fall” is one of the most quoted lines in any language. But Proverbs — and Jesus — go much deeper than a warning against arrogance. Pride is the root of sin: the posture of the self - trusting in your own judgment and needing no one else, least of all God. The Pharisee in Luke 18 is not a monster — he’s familiar. Yet the tax collector goes home justified. Not because of his humility, but because of God’s mercy. The solution? Beholding the one who emptied himself for us.

Proverbs reminds us that the one who gives generously is not the one who loses — but the one who trusts God completely with what was always his to begin with.

The Wisest Room in the House (Wisdom, Week 3)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2460316/fan_mail/new] Scriptures: Proverbs 3:1–7; 22:6 | Luke 15:11-32 Proverbs is itself a father’s address to his son passing down the faith from one generation to the next. This week we look at marriage, parenting, and the household of faith: what it means to build a home around the Word of God, to love imperfectly and be covered by grace, and to raise children not as our greatest achievement but as God’s gift entrusted to our care.

What Your Words Are Doing (Wisdom, Week 2)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2460316/fan_mail/new] Scriptures: Proverbs 12:17–19; 15:1–4; 18:21 | Matthew 12:33–37 Proverbs is relentless about speech — gossip, flattery, angry words, lies, and also the life-giving power of honest, kind conversation. Jesus says our words reveal the state of our hearts, and the same Jesus who will judge our careless words has already spoken the words that forgive them.
