KEY SCRIPTURES

• Proverbs 4:7
• Proverbs 2:6-7
• Colossians 2:2-3
• Psalms 111:10
• James 1:5
• John 14:6
• Isaiah 30:21
• Proverbs 13:20

START TALKING 

• If you could go back in time and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be? 

KEEP TALKING

• Think about the wisest person you know. What makes them wise, and what have you learned from them?
• Read James 1:5. If you could have wisdom in one area of your life, what would it be (e.g., finances, relationships, career decisions, etc.)? 
• Wisdom causes us to live by the principles and precepts of the Word of God, not the pressures of the world. Where in your life do you feel tension between God's principles and the pressures of culture? 
• Read Proverbs 13:20. Who are you intentionally walking with right now? How are your current relationships shaping your pursuit of wisdom?
• Who might be walking in your footsteps? What kind of legacy do you want to leave?
