Why should we pursue it and how can we put it into practice?\n\nIn this episode, we explore how wisdom is presented in the Bible. With particular reference to Proverbs, we discuss the contrast between biblical wisdom and current ideas about self-help. We look at the relationship between age, experience and wisdom, and how wisdom is passed on. We discuss the need to see wisdom modelled in community and explore how Jesus both taught and embodied wisdom. We ask whether the proverbs should be read as general guiding principles or direct promises from God. \nThe conversation closes with thoughts about the superior value of wisdom and character over head knowledge, as well as the uniquely hopeful message Christians have for people asking how to live well today.\n\nTimestamps\nRooted:\nRooted is our devotional journal that helps make the Bible available to everyone, everywhere.
