I am unashamed. What about you? So welcome back to the Unashamed podcast. We spent most of the time in Proverbs 8 and then talking about the concept of godly wisdom, which is so ingrained. And I like that phrase. Metaphor used about the grain of the wood. Same with beef. You know, there's grain in there and how you cut it makes a difference. But I was thinking about that Lisa, when she does her testimony and talks about her life prior to her death. coming to faith, she had no wisdom.
How does deception thrive in darkness according to the hosts?
And it was ironic and interesting that her lifeblood of what she read as she was a brand new Christian, and she's 33 years old, so it's not like she was a kid, was Proverbs and Psalms. And she would read them every day and just to try to understand a little bit more about who God is now that she had finally relented and sort of given up and submitted her life. But I was thinking there's so much such good stuff out there about Proverbs because Mark Moore, who's a guy that works at a big church out in Arizona, he's kind of the, I call him the Bill Smith of the Christian church because he's super sharp, a great teacher, and a great concept guy. And I read all of his stuff, but he's got a book. He has these things called Core 52, and it's like a weekly Bible study.
And he just did one on Proverbs. And it's outstanding. I want to recommend that to people looking. And also Sadie last year came out with a devotional book out of Proverbs, which is also excellent. So this concept you brought up about wisdom was spot on. But it's also, you know, there's some funny stuff in there. Solomon had a bit of a sense of humor as well, which I love.
Well, I mean, life is difficult, and we didn't really, you know, we talked about how Ecclesiastes comes at it from a little bit different angle because life throws you curveballs. Right.
What shocking move did Jase make regarding his daughter's boyfriend?
You know, he's like, it's all like smoke. I mean, you're trying to grasp it, and the speed of it is so quick.
Yeah.
Well, you're talking about a man who had a thousand wives. Well, and Proverbs was written not only by Solomon.
How do the hosts relate biblical wisdom to modern scandals?
There are other writers in that, which I do think it's representative of that Proverbs 8 tying it to the human world. is so profound, and I do think it is a blueprint designed by God. And you see that all throughout these from chapter 10 through 30. It's just these little sayings and almost riddles, but it shows you how deeper wisdom is. And I had a few interesting ones that I wanted to read, and I just thought before we make that segue, because ultimately— You know, to be successful in life, you either got to develop some wisdom or find somebody who has wisdom and get his opinion. And I think it's all linked to ultimately why God gave us a counselor who is God, the Holy Spirit in us. And I really think it will bring clarity in your daily actions, which is why Jesus said wisdom is proved right by our actions.
So here's a few. Proverbs 14, 4, which states, where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox. You're like, what? So here's the thought. So just to illustrate on how you think,
What blueprint for human flourishing is discussed in the episode?
If you don't want to go out there, which a part of any venture, there's got to be sacrifices. There's got to be grit. There's got to be sustained things that you don't want to do to be successful. And you're like, well, I tell you what, I would love a clean manger. And you're like, well, what does that mean? That means you don't have to go out there and shovel up poop every day and fool with a stinky ox. But guess what? You get no crops. Now, you can sit there in the basement of your parents' house and say, well, I don't have to clean this up.
How do the hosts illustrate the consequences of sin?
But you don't have anything. And this is not so much a moral issue as it is just talking about what it takes to be ambitious and to work and to do the things you don't want to do.
And I just, I don't know if you have any thoughts, but it just, well, you know, as soon as you said that I had not, don't remember that proverb. That's very funny, but it took me back to my childhood when, from the blind movie, when we live behind the bar.
