Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 1171 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. I am Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom What Is the Good News? – Worldview Wednesday Wisdom – the final frontier to true knowledge.

Others who can express it coherently often struggle with truly surrendering to its simplicity. They suffer inside over truly believing that the gospel is all that’s necessary for everlasting life.
