What does it look like to live wisely when you’re surrounded by foolishness, anger, or drama you didn’t create? In this episode, we turn to Abigail—a woman whose wisdom calmed a crisis and redirected the futures of two powerful men. Her story in 1 Samuel 25 shows us how godly wisdom protects, preserves, and points us back to the Lord.

Main Topics: 
  • Wisdom acts with discernment in moments of tension
  • Godly wisdom helps seek the best interests of others. 
  • Wisdom is bold and peaceable—not passive or reactive
  • We are regularly given opportunities to be wise peacemakers in the face of relationship chaos or difficulty
Reflection Question:
Where in your life do you need to embody the wisdom of Abigail? Or, where are you tempted to respond reactively instead of asking God for wisdom?
