Podcasts about living wisely

Wisdom is essential to navigate the confusing challenges of life.Ecclesiastes 9:13-10:20Pr. Darrell Daulton

Paul ends his letter to the Colossians by underlying the importance of making our faith attractive to others. We are to do so by being mindful of both our speech and our actions. Outsiders are not reading the Bible however they are reading us as followers of Jesus. It is up to us to live pleasing lives so that the broader community is drawn to Jesus by our grace, kindness and love.

A timely reflection on navigating today's challenging world. Discover the biblical truth of Ephesians 5:15–16 and learn how to make the most of your time, stay spiritually alert, and live intentionally in the face of adversity.

Pastor Adrián Muñoz, through the book of Job chapter 28, guided us in living wisely amidst suffering.

In this message from the In Christ series, Neil Silverberg opens Ephesians 5:15–21 and asks a timely question: how do you live wisely in a foolish age? He begins where Ephesians itself begins—our identity in Christ. Before any practical exhortation lands, Neil roots wise living in the gospel logic of justification by faith alone. Drawing on Ephesians 2:8–10 and the story of Martin Luther's awakening to the “righteousness of God” as a gift, he shows how freedom from condemnation breaks the shame/strive cycle and turns obedience from fear-driven effort into Spirit-enabled response.From that gospel foundation, Neil unpacks Paul's call to “make the best use of the time.” Redeeming time is more than productivity talk; it's buying our hours back from sin, distraction, and empty habits. He explains the difference between chronos (clock time) and kairos (opportune time), urging us to treat every day as a precious, non-renewable gift and to recognize the Spirit-charged moments that call for prayer, repentance, service, and faithful work—especially “because the days are evil.”Neil then turns to discerning “the will of the Lord.” Rather than chasing a secret blueprint, he emphasizes the moral will of God revealed in Scripture. As our minds are shaped by what God calls good, true, and pure, countless decisions clarify. He offers concrete examples—stewardship over impulse in finances, marrying in the Lord, and ordering daily habits “worthy of the Lord”—and prays with Paul (Colossians 1:9–10) that we would be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom.Finally, Neil addresses Paul's sharp contrast: “Do not get drunk with wine… but be filled with the Spirit.” He explains the issue of influence and control, noting the ancient pull of Bacchus and the modern wreckage of intoxication. “Be filled” is a continual command, not a one-time milestone. What does a Spirit-filled life look like? Paul gives three visible marks: worship that sings truth into our own hearts and into the church, gratitude that gives thanks always and for everything in Jesus' name, and mutual submission that reshapes every relationship out of reverence for Christ.If this message helps you walk wisely, consider sharing it with someone who needs encouragement. Which part is most challenging for you right now—redeeming time, discerning God's will, or staying continually filled with the Spirit?We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

Do you know what Romans 12:1 2 tells us? It says that if we will present our bodies as a living and holy sacrifice; if we'll stop being conformed to this world; if we'll present ourselves in a way to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Then what God promises to us is that we will be able to test and prove the will of God for our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1170/29

In this installment of the "Domino Effect" series examining Ephesians, Karl Ihfe explores Paul's vision of prayer as revealed in three prayers found in chapters one, three, and six. Ihfe contrasts our often limited, comfort-focused prayers with Paul's expansive prayers that remind believers of the extraordinary power available to them—"the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead" (Ephesians 1:19-20). Paul prays for spiritual wisdom, enlightened hearts, and a deep understanding of Christ's love that surpasses knowledge. Ihfe challenges us to consider whether our prayers reflect an awareness of this resurrection power or if we've settled for prayers centered on comfort and entertainment. Drawing from his recent travels to Kenya and North Africa, he shares how believers in challenging contexts are experiencing God's transformative work despite difficulties. He invites the Broadway church to pray with kingdom perspective, asking God to use them to make a difference in Lubbock rather than limiting what God might do through them. https://bwaychurch.org

Welcome to the Via Stoica Podcast, the podcast on Stoicism.What if preparing for death is the key to truly living? In this episode of the Via Stoica Podcast, Benny and Brendan explore the Stoic approach to mortality, not as something to fear, but as a tool to cultivate presence, peace, and purpose.Through personal stories, Stoic reflections, and practical exercises, they discuss how coming to terms with death can transform how we live day to day. You'll learn how Stoicism reframes death as a natural event, how meditating on mortality increases gratitude, and how the loss of loved ones can become a powerful teacher.This conversation pairs beautifully with our article Why Death Needs Rebranding, which challenges the modern fear of dying and invites us to embrace the Stoic wisdom of memento mori.Whether you're dealing with grief, contemplating your legacy, or just looking for a deeper connection to life, this episode offers guidance from the ancient Stoics and from two modern voices living the practice.Support the show⁠www.ViaStoica.com⁠⁠https://viastoica.com/stoic-life-coaching⁠⁠https://viastoica.com/benny-voncken/⁠⁠https://viastoica.com/Brendan-hogle/⁠YouTube: ⁠/viastoica⁠Reach us: ⁠info@viastoica.com⁠Produced by: ⁠http://badmic.com⁠

Wisdom isn't just about knowledge—it's about living in a way that honors the Lord in our daily choices. In a world full of distractions, how do we stay focused on what truly matters? In this episode, we begin a three-part series on Walking in Wisdom, looking at what biblical wisdom really is, how it differs from worldly wisdom, and how we can seek the Lord's guidance in our everyday lives. We'll explore Ephesians 5:15-16, where Paul urges us to walk carefully, making the best use of our time because the days are evil. Are we measuring our days by how much we accomplish, or by our faithfulness to the Lord? Are we seeking wisdom in the small, ordinary moments of life? Join me as we lay the foundation for walking in wisdom, trusting God's Word to guide our steps.

God made the world to reflect his wisdom. As people observe God's wise ordering of the universe they compile proverbs, short sayings meant to be contemplated and applied to everyday life. Every culture has proverbs, so it's no surpise we should find a book full of them in our Bibles. But what is wisdom as the Bible sees it? How do we live well in the world God made? David and Seth explore the genre of Proverbs and how we encounter God's wisdom perfectly reflected in Jesus.

Fr. Mike delves deeper into the lessons Ecclesiastes teaches us today about living wisely by keeping the end in mind, enjoying the present moment, and not worrying too much about other people's opinions of us. Today's readings are 1 Kings 9, Ecclesiastes 6-7, and Psalm 7. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
