Proverbs 10:10

About this episode
It is not a collection of abstract platitudes for needlepoint pillows. It is a divine field manual for navigating the complexities of a fallen world. And a significant portion of that navigation involves how we use our bodies and our words. We live in an age of spin, marketing, propaganda, and outright lies, where words are used not to reveal truth but to construct a preferred reality. At the same time, we are drowning in a ceaseless torrent of foolish talk, empty opinions, and verbal sludge from every corner of the internet. We are simultaneously a devious generation and a vapid one. This proverb from Solomon addresses both of these pathologies head-on. It presents us with two characters who, at first glance, might seem quite different. On the one hand, we have the conspirator, the man of subtle signals and hidden meanings, the winker.
