The Wisdom Calling Podcast
It is more vital than ever to know how to effectively navigate today’s rapidly-changing, fast-paced world, especially for those engaged in business. At no other time in history has there been such a never-ending supply of information, yet such a lack of actual wisdom to know how to discern it all. Our lives are saturated with a constant flow of noise from the news, podcasts, blogs, videos, and influencers–all vying for our attention. As technology advances, the global markets fluctuate, and the daily pressures of our professional and personal lives increase, the stabilizing reality we need is actually found in an ancient, yet timeless source—the Bible.
This podcast follows the Wisdom Calling devotional, which is designed as a daily guide through the Bible to provide clarity and stability for professionals think more critically and live more strategically--essentially to cultivate God's wisdom.
The podcast host, Dr. Bobo Beck, will guide listeners through the Bible, curating passages related to workplace wisdom. Along the way, Bobo will highlight various themes and teachings that are particularly relevant to Christian professionals–such as work, rest, success, wealth, debt, and generosity, to name a few. As listeners continue through the episodes, these themes will build on each other as additional insight and understanding are discussed.

How to Waste Your Life (But Really How Not To)
This episode delves into the cautionary tale of Samson, a Biblical figure gifted with immense strength by God. However, Samson squanders his potential through a series of self-centered decisions, prioritizing his own desires over God's will.
The podcast explores how Samson's disobedience and moral failings, including his manipulative relationships with women, ultimately lead to his tragic demise. We see how his story parallels the struggles of many people today, who might misuse their talents or stray from the right path.
The discussion goes beyond simply critiquing Samson's choices. It highlights the concept of God's providence, even amidst human flaws. The episode explores how God's work can continue even when we falter, and how recognizing this bigger picture can bring perspective to our own lives.
By examining Samson's wasted potential, the podcast offers a chance for reflection. It encourages listeners to consider how they can use their gifts and talents for God’s glory and the good of others while avoiding the pitfalls of selfishness and moral ambiguity. This episode serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning ourselves with a greater purpose – God’s purpose – and the spiritual impact we can make when we do.
