221. How to Get Real Wisdom: What Solomon Missed and Most Men Still Don’t Understand

Wisdom isn’t just about making smart decisions—it’s about becoming the kind of man God can trust. In this hard-hitting episode of The Impossible Life, Garrett and Nick unpack what it truly means to grow in wisdom—not just intellectually, but spiritually, practically, and biblically.

Prompted by a listener question, they go beyond the usual answers of “read Proverbs and pray,” diving deep into why wisdom without submission to God leads to ruin, how to spot counterfeit wisdom, and what separates godly wisdom from clever manipulation.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Why Solomon’s story is a warning, not just a model
• How to define wisdom as “God’s perspective for God’s purpose”
• The three pillars of godly wisdom: submission, source, and discernment
• How to filter worldly knowledge through biblical truth and the Holy Spirit
• The surprising ways God uses failure, fools, and frustration to grow your wisdom

📖 Key Scriptures:

• Proverbs 4:7 – “Wisdom is the principal thing…”
• James 3:17 – The fruit of heavenly wisdom
• Proverbs 9:10 – “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”
• Ecclesiastes – Solomon’s crisis of meaning and misplaced success
