Wisdom Isn’t Wisdom If It Isn’t From God
What if everything you’ve been calling “wisdom” isn’t actually wisdom at all?
In this episode, we unpack a foundational truth that challenges how we think about knowledge, influence, and decision-making: wisdom is not wisdom unless it comes from God.
We live in a world that elevates information, celebrates knowledge, and rewards curiosity. But not all knowledge is good. And more importantly, knowledge without God is not wisdom.
Scripture tells us that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” That means wisdom doesn’t start with experience, education, or even intelligence. It starts with God.
Together, we walk through powerful biblical examples—from Adam and Eve to King Joash—to reveal how the source of what you know determines the direction of your life.
Because once you truly know something… you can’t unknow it.
