Scott and Chris dive deeper into the fear of God in this episode, and explain how the fear of God as Hi...

Wisdom begins with a holy reverence, or fear, for the One who created the world. He knows all things, and has deposited the ability to search out and apprehend truth to all people. However, when we don’t connect true facts, or knowledge, to God, we may know things rightly but not truly.

Through Scripture, Scott and Chris dive into the connection between fearing God and true knowledge. We learn how the fear of the Lord helps us see o...
