Heavenly wisdom produces purity, peace, gentleness, mercy, sincerity, and good fruit.\nBut James doesn’t stop with identifying the problem. He takes us deeper into the desires behind our conflicts, the danger of pride, what it means to be a friend of the world, and why humility and repentance are essential to drawing near to God.\nWe also explore what James means when he says, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you,” and why making plans without acknowledging God’s will can reveal something deeper about our hearts.\nThis week’s challenge is practical: identify one conflict, one desire, and one area of pride in your life. Instead of asking, “How can I win?” ask, “How can Jesus be seen in the way I respond?”\nOpen Scripture. Follow Jesus. Practice the Word.\nSubscribe for more Bible study and practical conversations about becoming a doer of the Word, and share this episode with someone who could use the encouragement.\n00:00 – Welcome to Practice the Word\n00:20 – Episode 6: James 3–4\n01:14 – Heavenly Wisdom vs. Earthly Wisdom\n02:07 – Biblical Wisdom Produces Visible Character\n04:29 – Envy, Selfish Ambition & Earthly Wisdom\n06:15 – Unforgiveness and Letting Go\n09:21 – The Problem With Selfishness\n11:56 – What Wisdom From Heaven Looks Like\n15:20 – The Holy Spirit and a Transformed Life\n17:56 – James 4: Where Conflict Really Begins\n20:16 – Anger, Conflict & the Battle Within\n22:50 – Friendship With the World vs. God\n24:46 – God Opposes the Proud\n29:09 – Submit to God & Resist the Devil\n30:25 – Repentance, Humility & Drawing Near to God\n32:07 – Slander, Judgment & How We Speak About Others\n34:03 – Don’t Boast About Tomorrow\n37:32 – When Our Plans Become an...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/XhU8pSi-x3y3aWP-36y9rgKs-qTJNzpbqgmNZJ3EoJE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85ZDgw/MGI1YmU5NjIyM2U1/MDJhYzliZDU0N2Zk/Nzk2MS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
