Ep. 26 - Pastoral Wisdom

What does true pastoral wisdom look like, and how do we cultivate it in our lives? This conversation challenges us to move beyond surface-level spiritual consumption and embrace the work of applying Scripture to life. Drawing from Colossians 1:28-29 and Philippians 4:8-9, Jerry Wragg and Lance Quinn remind us that wisdom isn't merely accumulating biblical knowledge—it's the practiced ability to apply God's principles in ways that achieve His intended purposes. The discussion reveals how genuine discernment grows through consistent practice, not just repeated concepts. We're invited to examine whether we're settling for quick, articulate answers that lack depth, or whether we're willing to ponder deeply and practice carefully the truths we encounter. The call is clear: wisdom requires breadth of experience, humility to acknowledge our limitations, sobriety about our influence, and self-control to speak only what we truly understand. Are we conditioned to seek ear candy, or are we committed to the hard work of meditation, application, and transformation that produces genuine spiritual maturity?
