In this week’s episode of WordSmith, Pastor Clay welcomes David Anderson for a thoughtful conversation through Ecclesiastes and the pursuit of wisdom. Building on Sunday’s message, Clay and David explore what it really means to seek understanding—not just through knowledge, but through a life shaped by God’s Word.

Together, they unpack the difference between information and transformation, tracing Solomon’s reflections on wisdom and the limits of human understanding. Along the way, they discuss disciple-making, embodied faith, the challenges of living faithfully in an age of endless information, and why true wisdom is found not in knowing more, but in walking more closely with God.

As they reflect on Scripture and everyday life, Clay and David invite listeners to reconsider where they look for meaning and how God’s wisdom reshapes the way we think, live, and follow Jesus.
