Are you chasing connections or seeking the only connection that truly matters? In this thought-provoking episode of Seedbed Inc’s "Wake-Up Call," host John David Walt invites us to flip the script on the age-old adage, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”—and challenges us to consider that it’s not even who you know, but Who you know, with a capital "W." Journey with John David Walt as he unpacks the wisdom of Proverbs 29, exploring how our trust in God can free us from the “fear of man” and the exhausting need to curry favor with those in power. With warmth and practical insight, John David Walt shares personal stories from the growth of Seedbed, revealing how relying on human connections can become a spiritual snare, while wholehearted trust in God leads to true freedom and provision. Key moments you won’t want to miss: A powerful reflection on the difference between gratitude and obligation in relationships, and what really happens when we fear people more than we fear God. Real-world examples from ministry, shedding light on how the pursuit of influence or financial support can subtly undermine authentic faith and stewardship. A soul-stirring time of prayer, music, and honest questions designed to spark deeper journaling and spiritual growth. This episode isn’t just an exploration of ancient wisdom—it’s a timely wake-up call to evaluate where your security and significance truly rest. Whether you’re a ministry leader, entrepreneur, or simply seeking more authentic faith, you’ll find inspiration and practical steps to strengthen your connection to God above all else. Subscribe for more conversations like this, and join the journey of living with courage, gratitude, and unwavering trust.
