  • Wisdom That Walks, Not Just Talks | James 3:13 with Tiani Welch-Phillips
    Sep 23 2025

    In this episode, Ash and Tiani dive into James 3:13:

    “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.”

    Together, they talk about the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom, why accountability matters, and how to invite the Holy Spirit to convict and guide us.

    This episode is an encouraging reminder that wisdom isn’t about impressing others with what you know—it’s about living a life that points people to Jesus.
