WE NEED WISDOM
from Let's Talk: Truth in Love · host Doug Tweed and Jes Williams
In this episode of Let’s Talk: Truth in Love, we explore something every person—and especially every leader—desperately needs: wisdom. In a world filled with information, opinions, and competing voices, the real challenge is not knowing more—it’s making good, godly decisions.Wisdom is the ability to exercise sound judgment—the power to choose well. And the stakes are high. The decisions made by leaders—whether presidents, pastors, parents, or everyday individuals—don’t just affect their own lives, but the lives of many others. Good decisions bring blessing and life. Poor decisions can bring confusion, division, and destruction.The Bible makes it clear where true wisdom comes from. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all” (James 1:5). From Joseph to Solomon, from Daniel to Jesus Himself, Scripture shows us that real wisdom comes from above—not from human cleverness or worldly strategy. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10), because it places our trust in God as the ultimate source of truth.In this conversation, we take a close look at James 3:13–18, where the Bible contrasts true wisdom with its counterfeit. Worldly “wisdom” is often driven by jealousy and selfish ambition—leading to disorder, division, and every kind of evil. But godly wisdom looks very different. It is pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy, and produces good fruit. It reflects the very character of Christ.The question for each of us is simple but profound: What kind of wisdom is guiding our decisions? In a culture shaped by manipulation, pride, and self-interest, we are called to seek and live out the wisdom that comes from God—wisdom that brings peace, unity, and life.This episode is both a challenge and a prayer—that we, and the leaders who influence our world, would seek God’s wisdom above all else.Looking for more?
