In this week’s teaching, we’ll see what Proverbs is about, including themes to look for.
There’s even a suggestion about how to change up your reading schedule so you can slow down and get the most out of the treasures this amazing book has to offer.
Some themes include:
- Wisdom is much more than applied knowledge
- Wisdom is inseparable from moral behavior
- Wisdom must be lived in relationship – with God and each other
- Wisdom was the raw material of creation
- If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, the love of God is its goal
The Bible Reading Coach podcast is designed to help anyone read through the Bible in a year. In 10-15 minutes each Friday, I’ll introduce you to the passage for the following week, including:
- What it’s about
- How to deal with challenging passages
- How the original readers saw it
- How it applies today
- And much more
After listening, take the next week to read the passage on your own. This time you’ll have a clearer understanding of it.

My Top Books Of 2024 (Nonfiction)
Of all the books I read in 2024, several stood out. Here are my ten most notable nonfiction reads.
The Benefits Of The Right Kind Of Pastoral Stress
Jesus was “made like his brothers in every way” (Hebrews 2:17), which means he was not immune to the ravages of stress, yet he never let that stress overwhelm him.
Cultivating a Multiethnic Kingdom Culture, with Jamaal Williams and Timothy Paul Jones (Ep 93)
“You don’t need to check your ethnicity at the door of God’s kingdom. Your ethnicity and your culture are part of God’s plan for his praise.”
