Worth More Than Gold - Proverbs 16:16-17 | June 2, 2026

Welcome to One Single Story with Pastor Stephen Mizell, joined by Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Alyssa Bream. In this episode, the hosts explore Proverbs 16:16-17 and Solomon's bold claim that wisdom outvalues gold and silver - and what that means for how we actually spend our time today. Scripture Focus: Proverbs 16:16-17 - Wisdom and good judgment surpass gold and silver in value, and the virtuous path leads away from evil and keeps its travelers safe. In This Episode: Why wisdom must be pursued intentionally - it is never acquired by accident How doomscrolling, busyness, and digital comparison traps have quietly replaced wisdom as our highest priority The subtle on-ramps that lead believers off course - isolation, small compromises, and content that breeds envy and pride Practical steps for guarding your path and curating what you allow your eyes to see Key Quote: "Now more than ever, you have to be intentional about what you curate for your eyes to see."
