Hard-Earned Wisdom and Deep Transformation
The true wisdom that brings transformation does not necessarily come from academic qualifications like a PhD but from a life deeply lived in connection with God and others. Transformation is not just about acquiring information; it is messy, nuanced, and cannot be achieved through easy step-by-step processes. Real transformation requires time, relationships, and letting information sink deep into the soul. Our culture hungers for authenticity, groundedness, wisdom, compassion, and humility rather than surface-level information. The younger generations seek deeply formed lives over superficial knowledge, and we often deprive ourselves of this deep transformation by quickly consuming information without allowing it to deeply impact our lives.
