Pursuing Wisdom in Proverbs: Turn or Burn (Proverbs 1:20-33) 06.02.2024

In Proverbs 1:20-33, we see wisdom as a street preacher. And the charge is simple...turn or burn. We see the gifts bestowed to those who turn, and we are depicted the destruction that will befall those who do not. This has been one of my favorite podcasts to ever make!
