What if the very thing the world calls foolish… is actually the wisest thing that has ever happened?

In this Easter week episode, we step into 1 Corinthians 1:17–2:16 to explore what the Apostle Paul calls “the word of the cross.” And what we discover is both sobering and transformative: the cross doesn’t just save—it completely redefines what wisdom actually is.

From ancient rulers like Pontius Pilate and Caiaphas to modern thought leaders and cultural narratives, humanity has consistently tried to define wisdom apart from God. Yet at the center of history stands the cross—an event that looked like weakness and defeat, but is in fact the ultimate expression of God’s wisdom and power.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why the cross divides humanity into two responses
• How cultural and philosophical “wisdom” often falls short
• Why God chooses what the world rejects
• What it means that Christ is our wisdom
• How the Holy Spirit enables us to truly understand spiritual truth

If you’re a Christian professional navigating leadership, decision-making, and a culture full of competing voices, this episode will challenge you to rethink what wisdom really is—and where it’s truly found.

The question isn’t: Are you wise by the world’s standards?
The question is: Have you come to see the cross as the wisdom of God?

What if the work you do every day could actually be an act of worship?

In this episode of Wisdom Calling, we continue the story of King David and explore a fascinating section of Scripture that many readers skip over—1 Chronicles 23–27.

At first glance, these chapters look like administrative records: lists of names, divisions of leaders, and organizational structures. But beneath the surface, they reveal something extraordinary.

David was organizing an entire nation around the worship of God.

Priests.
Musicians.
Gatekeepers.
Treasurers.
Administrators.
Military leaders.

Each role—large or small—was described as “service to the house of the Lord.”

The Hebrew word used is avodah, a word that means work, service, business, and worship.

In other words, the work itself was worship.

In this episode, we explore the leadership lessons David modeled as he organized thousands of people for the ongoing operations of the Temple—and how those same principles apply to leaders today.

You’ll discover:

• Why vision always requires organizational structure
• How great leaders place capable people in the right roles
• Why every position in an organization matters
• How operational excellence can become worship
• What it means to view your work as service to God

Whether you lead a business, nonprofit, church, or team within an organization, this episode will challenge you to rethink the purpose of your daily work.

Because when work becomes worship, leadership takes on an entirely new meaning.

After failure… after repentance… after sacrifice on Mount Moriah… what comes next?

In this episode of Wisdom Calling, we follow King David into one of the most overlooked yet significant seasons of his leadership: preparing the next generation to build what he would never see completed.

Drawing from 1 Chronicles 22, we explore how David transformed mercy into mission — and how he built a strategic framework for success that still applies today.

You’ll discover:

• Why vision must be nurtured before it is activated
• The leadership power of preparation and planning
• How to leverage your experience to equip the next generation
• The importance of unity around a singular mission
• Why true success is measured by God’s glory, not personal legacy

David didn’t build the Temple — but he built what made it possible.

Whether you lead a company, nonprofit, church, or mission-driven initiative, this episode will challenge you to think long-term, steward your influence wisely, and arise to the work God has placed before you.

If God has placed a vision in your heart, this is your reminder: don’t waste it.

Listen now and discover how to build what outlives you.
