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.
