Stay Teachable, Stay Wise

Start a conversation!

You’re never too smart—or too spiritual—to be teachable. In today’s Wisdom & Wit, we dive into Proverbs 19:20 and uncover a timeless truth: wisdom isn’t a one-time download—it’s a lifelong posture. The moment you stop listening is the moment you stop growing. Whether you’re leading or learning, God calls us to live open-handed and open-hearted to His counsel.

In This Episode:

• Why lifelong wisdom depends on humility
• How to cultivate a teachable spirit in every season
• What Proverbs says about learning through correction

Takeaway:

Pride resists correction. Wisdom leans in and listens.
