    Iron Sharpens Iron
    Oct 13 2024
    Scripture makes it clear that good and wise company is a necessary component to cultivating wisdom in our lives. But how do I know if the company I keep is wise or foolish? Do they fear God? Do they speak the truth in love? Are they able to hear and receive Godly truth in their own life? Do they help carry the burdens of others? Proverbs gives us incredible insight into the characteristics of good and wise company, the kind of company we need in our lives if we want to grow in wisdom. But also the kind of company we should strive to be for others.

    The Righteous Give
    Oct 6 2024
    How do we best steward our resources? By gaining them righteously, using them wisely, and giving them generously.

  • An Ode to Prudence

    An Ode to Prudence
    Sep 29 2024
    We should spend more time understanding what will not change than trying to anticipate what will change. This is a fundamental lesson of Proverbs, and in Proverbs 8 we learn it is not prudent people who are naive and sheltered, but foolish people. Because prudence makes holy play possible.

  • Walking in Wisdom

    Walking in Wisdom
    Sep 22 2024

    Proverbs is a book about wise living. God wants his people to walk in wisdom rather than live lives of foolishness and folly. So, how do we become wise people? Where does wisdom come from and how do we practically learn to walk in it in all areas of our lives?

  • Technology: Eliminating the Human

    Technology: Eliminating the Human
    Sep 15 2024

    The story of the Tower of Babel reminds there are things we can do that we nevertheless should not do. Using this story as a source of wisdom, we discuss how Christians might use or not use modern technology. Technology is good when it produces connection, attention, and creation, but bad when it produces isolation, distraction, and endless consumption.

  • Hype (The Rise & Fall of Nothing)

    Hype (The Rise & Fall of Nothing)
    Sep 8 2024
    Hype is the rise and fall of nothing, and we live in a hype culture wherein big, exaggerated promises of the next thing that is going to change everything fill our lives. But Jesus was, if anything, an anti-hype man who lived a mostly obscure life. Because life's basic-ness is beautiful, and we don't need to live high on hype.

    Politics
    Sep 1 2024
    Politics is such a "hot button" topic. Some Christians feel that the church should be very engaged in the political process. Some feel the church should stay out of politics altogether. Should Christians care about politics? If so, how do we do so in a God-honoring way?

  • The Age of Anxiety

    The Age of Anxiety
    Aug 25 2024
    One of the only things almost everyone agrees on is that we're living in the midst of a mental health crisis. And far from belittling our anxiety or outsourcing treatment of it solely to "the professionals", God understands our anxiety and wants to help. A less anxious life is the byproduct of having a mission in life greater than the self.
