We live in an age overflowing with advice — from social media gurus to professional consultants, from friends to influencers. But not all counsel is created equal. In this episode, we revisit one of the most sobering leadership stories in Scripture: David’s flight from Absalom and the competing counsel of Ahithophel and Hushai.

Through this story, we learn three timeless lessons:

1. Discern the source — Wisdom isn’t about eloquence; it’s about godliness.
2. Surround yourself with truth-tellers — Seek counsel from those who fear God more than they fear offending you.
3. Trust God’s sovereignty — Even when advice goes wrong, God’s purposes remain right.

This 10–12 minute reflection will encourage you to think deeply about the voices shaping your decisions — and remind you that God is still directing your path, even through the noise.

In Psalm 63, David writes from the wilderness, declaring, “Your steadfast love is better than life.” His praise wasn’t circumstantial—it was covenantal.

In this Thanksgiving reflection, we explore what it means to worship when life feels uncertain or weary. Through personal stories of worship from unexpected places—a living room during recovery, a hospital bed in South Philly—we see how gratitude and trust can rise even in limitation.

Join us for a meditation on satisfaction, safety, and steadfast love—the kind of praise that doesn’t depend on comfort, but on covenant.

When life feels like it’s falling apart — when fear, betrayal, or uncertainty surround you — what do you do? In this episode of Wisdom Calling, we look at Psalm 3 and discover how David found peace and confidence in the middle of chaos. Through his simple yet powerful prayer, “You, O Lord, are a shield for me,” we’ll explore how to turn fear into faith and find rest when the world feels unsafe.

🎧 Take a few quiet minutes to reflect, pray, and remember: the same God who lifted David’s head can lift yours too.
