About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of accepting wisdom and humility in our lives, as illustrated through a metaphor of a woman struggling with grocery bags.

Wisdom Calls: Without Wisdom Our Nation Runs on Fumes Picture this: A woman walks out of a store with grocery bags stacked up both arms. Her hands are shaking, items are slipping, and the door in front of her seems impossible to open. Bystanders step in to help, but she insists, “No, I’ve got it.” In reality, she doesn’t. It’s easy to feel frustrated imagining this unfolding before you. We want to shout, “Just accept the help!” But this is often exactly how we live. Wisdom calls out to us, offering a better way – a life not crushed under the weight of sin, pride, and self-sufficiency. It seems obvious that we should accept this offer, but strangely, we often act just like this woman: unwilling to humble ourselves and receive what God offers. Join us this Sunday as we read through the second chapter of Proverbs, seeking to answer the question: Do you want wisdom?
