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.

Tired of chasing status and comparing yourself to others? In this episode, we explore how the Israelites' desire for a king mirrored our own tendency to focus on the here-and-now. We'll learn from 1 Samuel 8-12 about the importance of seeking God's will and cultivating gratitude for his faithfulness, especially during transitions. We'll also discuss practical tips for making wise decisions and surrounding yourself with godly advisors.
