106_ The Two Types of Wisdom
Mar 2800:25:23Tap to summarizeLife is full of all sorts of matters that require us to make countless choices each day. The is process is something we are so accustomed to that we are largely unaware of how many decisions we make. Many decisions are automated because we have built habits that set up pre-determined choices. Other choices are ones we are aware of the decision-making process. I would assume that most people, perhaps everyone, want to make what will turn out to be good decisions with good outcomes. In the process of choosing, we are working to filter out information to help us.But what would change if you knew that were literally just two types of wisdom, and that each sort of wisdom is promised to result in certain types of outcomes? What if one type of wisdom that is most commonly accepted, is actually not sound, accurate nor reliable? Would you want to know the difference?In the previous episode the topic was Unmasking the Fake: Counterfeit vs Authentic. In a world rife with lies and deceptions, it is worth discussing the true or authentic wisdom from God vs the counterfeit that gives the appearance of wisdom but actually produces outcomes we don't know to anticipate. If you want to give some deep thought around the two sources of wisdom according to God's Word, tune in to today's episode.

Feb 2100:12:34Tap to summarizeFakes. Copies. Copycats. Replicas. Spoofs. These aren't any new to us. Long before our time, people have encountered imitations which, may look deceptively good, but they still aren't the real deal. In the last episode I promised to share the two types of wisdom. A good friend asked if I might consider adding one more episode before sharing the two types of wisdom to talk about authentic versus counterfeit. It seemed an excellent idea. So today may be a shorter episode, but the implications of this contrast touch virtually every area of our lives and the multitude of decisions we're continuously making. I invite you to tune in and give some thought around this matter of authentic versus counterfeit.
Transcribe →104_ Learn the One Thing That Matters Most
Feb 900:17:20Tap to summarizeThose we trust to teach us how profound influence in our lives. In this episode we consider who in our lives is wise, and what is the single most important thing that matters most because it profoundly shapes our lives. Tune in for a thoughtful discussion along with some the lesson the wisest and richest man that ever lived said is most important.
Transcribe →103_ Barbed Words vs. Bruises: Which Scar Lasts Longer?
Jan 3100:25:59Tap to summarizePeople can say the most cruel words to us. And try as we might to dismiss them, some of those words land deep and get imbedded into our sense of who we are and how we ought to live as a result.In today's episode we touch on the issue of identity as we consider the impact of critical, judgmental and harsh words spoke to us, the typical counsel of parents and friends, the first question most counselors as they seek to help us, and lastly, what is the better question to ask if you are a follower of Jesus. Today's discussion is timely and needful for each one of us.
Transcribe →102_ Bitterness & Grudges
Jan 1700:23:41Tap to summarizeThere is no such thing as real relationships among humans without disagreements, arguments, conflicts and choices that we find hurtful. But when these become a grudge we hold against someone, and when bitterness brews inside us toward them, what are we to do? Today's episode is about why we form grudges, what causes them, how they impact us over time, and what does God's solution for us when we recognize that bitterness from a grudge has taken root in our lives.
Transcribe →101_ Decisions and Crossroads
Dec 2000:16:22Tap to summarizeHuman beings make lots of decisions every day. What we don't always recognize is how significantly the choices we make shape our lives. How do we walk in wisdom when we are faced with decisions? How do we avoid becoming a fool, which leads to lament, regret, and often guilt or shame? If you want to give some thought to what God teaches about wisdom, tune in to today's episode.
Transcribe →100_ The Desires That Shape the Soul
Dec 1300:20:40Tap to summarizeThe topic of passions and desires is often discussed, but have you caused to consider how your desires shape your soul? Tune into to today's episode that looks at Psalm 25 and consider what it looks like to nurse an appetite for God, what is the role of our hearts in this, and what the Bible means when it tells us to guard our heart with all diligence.
Transcribe →099_ Why You Must Tell Your Mind What to Think
Dec 600:25:32Tap to summarizeYour mind is constantly working, thinking, processing, measuring, choosing. It never stops. Even when you are asleep it is still actively working to sort, store and make meaning about ideas, information and experiences. But can you trust everything you think? And is it wisdom to do so? It has been said that knowledge is power. And knowledge about how and what we think can powerfully shape our lives because what we think is central to how we live. Tune in to consider how both human experts and biblical wisdom instruct us about our thoughts.
Transcribe →098_ Self-Pity - The Siren's Song
Nov 800:08:25Tap to summarizeNo human is exempt from its lure. There are seasons and situations that cause frustration and headache that easily and naturally draws toward self-pity. When we are there, it seems the most reasonable and normal thing to do. To muse on and think about what happened. To allow it to replay in our minds in a looping fashion, with each replay regenerating within the same feelings and physiology that we suffered when it originally happened. The question is not: will self-pity ensnare me? The real question is: Is it helpful to my soul to remain in self-pity, and is it God's best for me? I invite you to join me as we consider together how deeply we suffer from allowing ourselves to remain in this painful loop, and how can we break free and experience the fullness and joy of the freedom Jesus died to provide for you and me.
Transcribe →097_ Seeking Favor With God: The Illusion of Earning
Nov 100:18:33Tap to summarizeSo many live in fear of trying to get into God's good graces but sensing they will never measure up. If you can relate to this, tune in for today's episode where we look at what God says about favor and acceptance. What if you believe something about this that isn't true (according to God, of course)? Would you want to know what God says is true? I invite you to join me for an honest look at what God says about how to get His favor and acceptance.
