Don't Trust People Who Tout Their Own Wisdom

Is wisdom something you possess—or something that possesses you? In this episode of Seedbed Inc’s “Wake Up Call,” host John David Walt dives deep into Proverbs 26, unlocking refreshingly honest truths about humility, wisdom, and spiritual intelligence. If you’ve ever found yourself questioning the line between being aware and being wise, this candid reflection will surprise and inspire you. Join John David Walt, thought leader and spiritual guide, as he unpacks the dangers of being “wise in your own eyes,” why humility is not about thinking less of yourself but thinking less about yourself, and how the pursuit of wisdom is radically different from what modern culture teaches. Discover how true spiritual insight isn’t about collecting answers—it's about walking and working your way through life with Jesus, letting His wisdom shape you moment by moment. Key moments include a provocative comparison between artificial intelligence (AI) and “Jesus intelligence” (JI), challenging us to prioritize spiritual wisdom over quick solutions. You'll also hear an uplifting prayer and worship segment that grounds the show’s themes in authentic faith, along with practical journal prompts to help you reflect and grow. Plus, get a sneak peek at upcoming Lent and Easter studies that will take your spiritual journey even further. Ready to rethink the way you seek wisdom?
