Podcasts about godly wisdom

Daniel was a godly prophet whose walk with God was fueled by God's Word, prayer, repentance, and God's promises. His example will help us as we walk with Jesus. Join Zach Fischer on today's Devotionable. Devotionables is a ministry of The Ninth & O Baptist Church in Louisville, KY.  naobc.org

“The Value of Godly Wisdom” - a lesson on the value and reception of godly wisdom in navigating life in a fallen world. Music: “Wise and Meek.” Lyrics by Toby Logsdon. Arranged by Toby Logsdon. Performed by “Christus Super Omnia.” Copyright ©TobyLogsdon, 2026.

This sermon explores the supremacy of godly wisdom over human strength and foolishness, drawing primarily from Ecclesiastes 9:13 to 10:20. The preacher contrasts the quiet, often ignored wisdom of the poor man with the loud, destructive nature of folly, illustrating how even small sins can ruin great reputations. It emphasizes that foolishness is a heart issue rather than an intellectual one, urging believers to guard their speech and remain calm under authority. The message culminates in identifying Jesus Christ as the ultimate embodiment of divine wisdom who was despised by the world yet exalted by God. Believers are called to live with eternal perspective, valuing God's approval over human recognition while navigating a fallen world.

Crisis to Christ | Thriving in Babylon When Daniel faced a crisis he could not solve on his own, he knew where to turn. In Daniel 2, we see Daniel respond with wise composure, radical courage, godly community, heartfelt prayer, and praise. Then, through Nebuchadnezzar's dream, God reveals that every earthly kingdom will eventually fall, but the Kingdom of Jesus will stand forever. This message from Thriving in Babylon challenges us to stop depending solely on our own wisdom and remember a truth that changes how we face every crisis: there is a God in heaven who can. Key Insights: Respond to crisis instead of reacting to it. Daniel models wise composure and courage when panic would have been the easier response. Make prayer your first response. Daniel immediately gathers his community and seeks God when human wisdom reaches its limit. Don't try to walk through crisis alone. Godly community matters, especially when life becomes difficult and the answers aren't obvious. Recognize the limits of earthly wisdom. Knowledge, education, and human ability have value, but they cannot replace the wisdom that comes from God. Live with confidence in the Kingdom that lasts. Daniel's interpretation points beyond temporary earthly kingdoms to Jesus and His Kingdom that will reign forever.

How do we faithfully engage a culture that doesn't share our assumptions about God? In Acts 17, Paul finds himself conversing with the thoughtful gatekeepers of Athens. Rather than retreating from this cultural moment or simply condemning what others believe, Paul listens to them and offers insights that point them to Jesus. We find ourselves needing similar wisdom today. This message continues our series through the book of Acts with a message from guest speaker, pastor and author, Domenic Ruso. We explore how to engage our changing culture with godly wisdom rooted in our love for Jesus and our neighbors. Scripture Referenced: Acts 17:16-34

How do we know if we are following Biblical wisdom? In chapter 3 of his epistle, James sets the standard with eight qualities of godly wisdom:   First, godly wisdom is pure. False wisdom is characterized by bitter envy and selfish ambition; godly wisdom is characterized by purity of motive.   Second, it is peace-loving. Selfish ambition can start a war, but God's wisdom can bring Truth and clarity where there is chaos.   Third, it is considerate. Though you have strength and power, you control yourself so that when you have the opportunity to hurt somebody, you won't do it.   Fourth, it is submissive. Being submissive means being willing to listen and willing to learn. To be submissive is to be humble and teachable, not a doormat to be walked over but meek, so that your strength is guided and submitted to God, making you gentle and kind.   Fifth, it is full of mercy. The word used here actually has a double meaning: forgiving those who wrong us and then being willing in our hearts to help them.   Sixth, it is full of good fruit. You cannot manufacture the fruit of the Spirit. True spiritual maturity happens from the inside out for those who are indwelt by the Spirit of God and are seeking His wisdom moment by moment.   Seventh, it is impartial. Those who live by worldly wisdom cannot be impartial because they are always trying to please someone, but those who live by God's wisdom are consistent, single-minded, and authentic.   Eighth, it's sincere. A sincere person is genuine, without hypocrisy, and wears no mask.   Godly wisdom is the kind of wisdom that comes from the very heart of God. As you read and pray through God's Word continually, you will find that your life is producing purity, peace, gentleness, willingness, mercy, good fruit, impartiality, and sincerity—and that's how you'll know the Word of God is taking root. Join me in prayer.  Precious Lord, thank You for answering my prayers for wisdom by giving it to me generously. As I spend time studying Your Word and listening to Your voice, I know these things will begin to take root in me. Help me to prioritize that time with You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Our world is overflowing with knowledge, yet starving for wisdom. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains the difference between knowledge and wisdom: knowledge gathers information, but wisdom applies the right Truth in the right situation. There is natural wisdom, which relies on human reasoning and experience. There is worldly wisdom, which rationalizes sin, fuels selfish ambition, and separates us from God. James describes this kind of “wisdom” as earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. It is the same kind of deception that led Adam and Eve away from obedience in the garden. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is altogether different. It is pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere. Godly wisdom is not arrogant, harsh, boastful, divisive, or unforgiving. It does not seek self-glory; it brings glory to God. Dr. Youssef reminds believers to seek God's wisdom in every area of life—from marriage and parenting to conflict, decisions, and new ventures. True wisdom is the ability to apply the Word of God accurately and faithfully in our own lives and in the lives of others. The question is: are you growing in the wisdom that comes from heaven? Pray with me.  Father God, I pray that You would increase my godly wisdom as You've promised in Your Word. Protect me from relying on any kind of wisdom but Yours. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

In unpredictable seasons of systemic crisis, economic distress, and psychological warfare, worldly intelligence repeatedly fails and exposes deep spiritual vulnerabilities. Divine wisdom - the sovereign Godly Wisdom - functions as an absolute practical framework for everyday Christian living, dictating our financial stewardship, marital relationships, emotional boundaries, and behavioral choices. According to the prophetic words in the Book of Isaiah, authentic wisdom and spiritual knowledge constitute the unbreakable stability of our times, operating as an impenetrable supernatural armor against adversarial attacks.ദൈവവചനത്തിൻ്റെ അനുഗ്രഹങ്ങൾക്കായി Blessing Today ചാനൽ ഇപ്പോൾ തന്നെ Subscribe ചെയ്യൂ! ✨പുതിയ വീഡിയോകൾക്കായി Bell Icon അമർത്തുക.

Proverbs 1 lays out four foundational steps to receiving godly wisdom, and they build on one another in a powerful way. It all begins with a right relationship with God through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. From there, godly wisdom grows through the influence of parents, mentors, and the local church community. Pursuing holiness through the power of the Holy Spirit and actively listening to God through His Word complete the picture. The fear of the Lord is not a cowering terror but a reverent awe of who God is and what He has done. Wisdom is not just something to learn. It is something to live. ------------------------ ' The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth— Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. ' Proverbs 1:1-6

Money is one of the most practical—and spiritual—areas of our lives, yet it's often one of the least intentionally taught within the home.    In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Patti Garibay welcomes financial author and stewardship expert Matt Bell for an important conversation about raising girls who honor God with their finances. From everyday spending decisions to long-term financial planning, this episode explores how parents can disciple their daughters to think Biblically about money from an early age.    Together, Patti and Matt tackle some of the most common questions families face today: Is all debt bad, or is there a place for wise borrowing? How can parents help their daughters avoid the burden of overwhelming student loans? And what's the best way to teach financial responsibility—through cash, debit cards, or even credit?    This conversation also highlights the deeper heart behind financial stewardship. In a culture driven by consumption and comparison, girls need to learn contentment, discernment, and generosity. Matt shares how giving isn't just a financial practice—it's a spiritual discipline that helps shape a heart aligned with God's purposes.    Whether your daughter is just beginning to learn the value of money or preparing to step into adulthood, this episode will equip you with practical tools and Biblical encouragement to guide her toward a future marked by wisdom, responsibility, and faithful stewardship.    Because when girls understand that everything they have comes from God, they are better prepared to use it for His glory.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    Matthew 6:21   Proverbs 21:5   Luke 16:10   1 Timothy 6:6–10   2 Corinthians 9:6–7   Proverbs 22:7    To learn more about Matt Bell, his work, and resources for Biblically wise financial stewardship for your family, visit mattaboutmoney.com     Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.         Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.

Proverbs has a lot to say about our speech habits (our tongue, mouth, lips). Most of us learn habits of speech that we have to unlearn and replace if we are going to grow into the Godly Wisdom that Proverbs invites us into. Three habits in particular include airing our opinions, lying, and gossip. It is one thing to try and stop doing those things, but replacing those habits with healthier habits will help us begin to truly experience transformation.

In this sermon, Pastor Mack Jarvis teaches about the value of Godly wisdom and how a believer can navigate through a godless world.

In a world filled with information, knowledge is easy to find—but wisdom is much harder to obtain. Ideas and philosophies often come packaged attractively, appearing thoughtful, progressive, or insightful. Yet appearances can be misleading. Just as a beautifully designed book may contain poor content, teachings that seem appealing can still lead us away from truth. The Bible reminds us that true wisdom has a very specific starting point: “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom” (Job 28:28). This “fear” is not terror, but reverence—a deep respect for God’s authority, holiness, and truth. It means recognizing that God’s understanding far surpasses our own. From the very beginning, humanity has struggled to distinguish between worldly knowledge and godly wisdom. In the Garden of Eden, the serpent presented deception in an appealing way, making disobedience appear wise and desirable. That same pattern continues today. Sin often looks attractive, and worldly ideas are frequently praised as enlightened or progressive. Yet Scripture consistently points us in another direction. Godly wisdom flows from knowing God and aligning our lives with His Word. It is cultivated through studying Scripture, praying for understanding, and surrounding ourselves with voices that strengthen our faith. Sometimes choosing God’s wisdom may look foolish to the world. Obedience, humility, and holiness are not always celebrated in modern culture. But what appears foolish to the world is often the path of true wisdom before God. The greatest treasure we can pursue is not influence, wealth, or intellectual achievement—it is a heart that reveres God and seeks His truth. When we begin there, our choices, priorities, and understanding start to align with His perfect wisdom. Main Takeaways Knowledge is abundant, but true wisdom comes from God. The fear of the Lord—reverence and obedience—is the beginning of wisdom. Worldly ideas can appear appealing but may lead away from truth. Godly wisdom grows through Scripture, prayer, and faithful community. Obedience to God may seem foolish to the world but reflects true wisdom. Today’s Bible Verse “Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell? … And he said to the human race, ‘The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding” (Job 28:20, 28, NIV).

Amongst the many notable lives of leaders brought to us in the Bible, the life of King Solomon stands out.  Not everything in his life is worthy of imitation, but other aspects of his life seem clearly to indicate the plan of God for us.  And one of those aspects in particular is the benefits that God shows for those who possess wisdom.  In this our second episode on King Solomon we look at the benefits of Godly wisdom in his life and compare it to the wisdom we find in Christ.
