The Proverb Podcast
Looking for wisdom that actually changes how you live, not just what you know? We open a new series through Proverbs by reframing wisdom as a relationship you cultivate, not a pile of tips you memorize. Starting with Proverbs 1:1–6, we unpack why the book was written, who it’s for, and how it trains us to hear the right voice in a world full of noise. Every week we will be putting out a new episode. edc For a copy of my book that will help you learn to here from God. God Why Won't You Talk To Me... https://a.co/d/05spTUo2

Two voices talk to you every day, and one of them is lying. One says, “Protect yourself. Play it safe. Wait until you’re certain.” The other says, “Trust me. Move. Build. Invest what I gave you.” We finish Proverbs 10 by showing why Solomon never changes the subject at all and why your greatest breakthroughs often sit on the other side of a fear that sounds completely reasonable.
Fear can feel like a normal emotion, but what if it’s also a competing voice trying to steer your life? Proverbs 10:24-25 cuts straight through the noise with two stark pictures: the future shaped by fear and the future shaped by righteous desire, then the storm that exposes what you’re truly standing on. We slow down and ask the question underneath both verses: whose voice are you listening to when tomo...
Your mouth can fill a room and still say nothing. Proverbs 10:20-23 confronts that problem head-on, and it does it with a surprising promise: when God orders a life from the inside out, wisdom stops feeling like mere restraint and starts feeling like joy.
We start with a vivid picture from Scripture: “The tongue of the just is as choice silver.” Silver has value because it has been refined, and th...
One careless sentence can undo a day of self-control, and Proverbs tells us why. We sit with Proverbs 10:18-19 and the painfully real theme of “hold your tongue,” where hidden hatred becomes lying lips, slander turns us into fools, and the sheer volume of our words makes sin not just possible but unavoidable. If you have ever felt that moment when someone keeps pushing, your chest tightens, your mind say...
Fear can sound wise when we dress it up as patience. But Proverbs 10:17 doesn’t let us hide: keeping instruction puts us on the way of life, and refusing correction is how we drift off course. We sit with that uncomfortable truth and ask what “the way of life” really means when the worship high fades and real responsibilities show up.
We talk about the common trap for Christians who love God...
Money can feel like a wall around your life, until the day you realize the wall has wings. We’re digging into Proverbs 10:15–16 with a blunt question: is wealth functioning as a smart fortress you use wisely, or has it quietly become the foundation you’re standing on? Because those are not the same thing, and confusing them can cost you more than dollars.
We talk about the tension Prov...
Hatred doesn’t just start fights, it can start a war inside you. We sit with Proverbs 10:12-14 and get painfully practical about what happens when betrayal keeps replaying in your mind, when old wounds shape new relationships, and when “being a good Christian” gets twisted into tolerating what is destructive. If you’ve ever felt guilty for still hurting, this conversation is here to put truth...
Some of the most dangerous harm you will ever meet won’t come with shouting or fists, it’ll come wrapped in smooth words. Proverbs 10 repeats a line on purpose: “the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.” We slow down and learn how to spot what’s hiding behind speech that pressures, flatters, divides, or manipulates, and we contrast it with the righteous mouth that becomes “a fou...
Proverbs can feel like lofty sayings until it starts naming your real life: family tension, money pressure, work habits, and the quiet drift that happens when we stop listening for God’s voice. We pick up at Proverbs 10 where Solomon moves from broad, black-and-white warnings into everyday cause and effect, and suddenly wisdom is not abstract anymore. A single line about a foolish child becoming a grief to his...
Two voices are talking to you every day, and Proverbs 9 says you will live with the results of whichever one you follow. We lean into that uncomfortable idea and tighten the focus where it belongs: not your boss, your family, or your past, but you. Wisdom calls with a table already set, offering a steady life built on something stronger than moods and headlines. Folly shouts from the doorway with urgency, secrecy, a...
Wisdom doesn’t whisper from a hidden corner. Proverbs 8 says she cries out where decisions get made, at intersections, entrances, and the places where the noise of life is the loudest. That image challenged us, because we’ve all stood in the middle of pressure and tried to figure out what God is saying while our natural mind screams, “Work harder, protect yourself, do whatever it takes.” ...
You can be disciplined, successful, and sharp, then lose everything through one unguarded door. That is the gut-level urgency behind Proverbs 7, and why Solomon refuses to stop repeating himself. We take his warning seriously and slow down the story, because it reveals something most people miss: the collapse rarely begins with a single reckless moment. It begins earlier, with a street you choose, a place you linger...
God “hates” is strong language, and Proverbs 6 does not soften it. We read the passage straight, then slow down to translate it into everyday life: the liar who performs with a smile, the person who spreads strife while pretending to be wise, and the pride that can say everything without speaking a word. If you have ever watched someone’s secret behavior get exposed and their whole plan collapse ov...
Pressure has a way of making everything feel personal. It can sound like failure, anxiety, or proof that you should quit. We push back on that story and use Proverbs 6 to rebuild a clearer, tougher mindset rooted in biblical wisdom and spiritual discipline.
We start with a practical warning that hits home for anyone dealing with money and family boundaries: cosigning. Proverbs doesn’t treat it lik...
Temptation almost never announces itself as danger. It shows up as honeyed words, smooth logic, and a “normal” path everyone else seems to take and Proverbs 5 calls that out with uncomfortable clarity. We slow down and read the chapter as a personal warning from God: pay attention to His wisdom, lean in to His understanding, and let that instruction become a real hedge of protection around your life.
...
Proverbs 4 doesn’t repeat itself because the writer ran out of ideas. It repeats because that’s how growth happens. We keep wanting God’s promises to land instantly, but Scripture describes something slower and more powerful: a seed taking root, unseen at first, then showing up as real fruit in your life.
We walk through Mark chapter 4 and connect it to the heartbeat of Proverbs 4. The writt...
What if the difference between heavy days and meaningful days is the voice you choose to follow? We walk through Proverbs 3 with open Bibles and open hearts, exploring how trust, kindness, and Spirit-led wisdom turn scattered thoughts into straight paths and anxious nights into sweet sleep. This isn’t theory or spiritual clichés; it’s a practical guide to hearing God clearly, choosing his way over the no...
What if wisdom isn’t something you stumble into but something you pursue like buried treasure? We dive into Proverbs 2 and trace a clear path from desire to discernment: if you receive, treasure, cry out, and seek, then you discover the knowledge of God—more than facts about Him, a living relationship that refines choices and rebuilds peace. Along the way, we share a personal story of crying out under st...
What if the peace you crave can’t be added at the end, because it’s grown from the way you build? We walk through Proverbs 1:8–33 to uncover how wisdom moves from abstract ideas to daily choices, especially when your story includes imperfect parents, broken examples, and seasons of fear-fueled striving. Solomon’s life reframes a hard truth with hope: human failure doesn’t disqualify div...
What if wisdom isn’t something you collect, but someone you hear? We take one slow, careful look at Proverbs 1:7 and discover that the fear of the Lord is not about terror but about treasuring God’s voice above every other. From David’s life of listening to Solomon’s call to “incline your ear,” we unpack why true knowledge begins with reverent responsiveness and how this foundatio...
