Church Mothers: Abigail’s Wisdom

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?
