Where Wisdom Begins

What is shaping you as a man?Culture, success, failure, the opinions of others — every man is being formed by something. In this episode, Chris Muiña kicks off a brand-new series through the book of Proverbs, beginning with the story behind the book itself: how a 20-year-old Solomon asked God not for riches or long life, but for wisdom, and became the wisest man to ever live. True wisdom doesn't start with experience or intelligence; it starts with the fear of the Lord. Pride says, "I've got this." Wisdom says, "Lord, teach me."Verse of the Day "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction." — Proverbs 1:7 (NIV)Your Daily Man-Up ChallengeIdentify where pride has kept you from learning, and take five minutes to ask God for wisdom in one specific area of your life.Tap HERE to send us a text!NEW TO THE MEN’S MORNING DEVOTIONAL? Welcome!The Men's Morning Devotional is a podcast to help you man up in every way - in your faith, your family and your work - by spending a few minutes getting into the Word before you face the world. Every weekday, you'll get a challenge and encouragement from Scripture that speaks to the pressures you carry as a husband, a father, and a leader.
