Proverbs 1:1–7

About this episode
We live in an age that is drowning in information and starving for wisdom. We have more data at our fingertips than any generation in human history, and yet we are, by every meaningful metric, becoming more foolish. We have men who can build a rocket to Mars but cannot define what a woman is. We have universities churning out graduates who are fluent in the jargon of oppression studies but are functionally illiterate when it comes to balancing a checkbook or maintaining a marriage. Our culture has mistaken cleverness for wisdom, and the results are all around us. The whole project is a clown car driving off a cliff in slow motion. Into this chaotic din of foolishness, the book of Proverbs speaks with a clean, sharp, and bracing authority. This is not a collection of fortune cookie platitudes or sentimental self-help slogans.
