I don’t need to ask people for advice on decisions I make do I? I am an adult.

How does the Bible actually respond to this question? In this episode, we explore Scripture’s surprisingly direct answer to radical independence—and why maturity, in God’s economy, is not marked by self-sufficiency but by humility. We’ll look at wisdom literature that warns against being “right in our own eyes,” and we’ll unpack the sobering story of King Rehoboam, the young king who rejected the counsel of seasoned elders in favor of the advice of his peers—with devastating consequences for an entire nation. Is refusing counsel a sign of strength… or a warning light Scripture tells us not to ignore?We’ll explore what biblical wisdom really looks like—and why listening might be one of the most adult things we can do.
