About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of relationships and wisdom in the context of family and community from a Christian perspective.

Relationships are inescapable. A famous philosopher once said, "No man is an island." As Christians, we know this is true because God created us in his image. He is one God in three persons- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To be human is to be born into relationships. And to be human is to be called to build relationships. God commands us to be fruitful and multiply. In other words, we display the image of God by building relationships in the context of families, cultures, and communities. To live out this calling and command, we need wisdom. Thankfully, God gives us this wisdom in his word, especially in the book of Proverbs. Join us over the next several weeks as we seek to gain the wisdom we need to build wise relationships from the book of Proverbs. Because everyone lives in a relationship, this is a great time to invite friends and family.
