We can respond to suffering with wisdom or folly. What does this ancient book teach us about seeking wisdom in suffering?

Job is presented to us a model of wisdom; and yet he suffers. Job's friends look wise for a minute (or longer), and then they speak. What does wisdom look like when it doesn't produce prosperity but responds to suffering?

Living wisely with God's world means working with wisdom and being wise with the fruit of our labours. Here Phil unpacks some of what the Proverbs have to say about wise economics, including how we think about work and money.

Wisdom — a right understanding of the world — is part of the way we get to know what God is really like. Here's Nathan and Robyn unpacking how God's people might walk wisely together as part of how we introduce people to God.

Nathan and Robyn unpack how Proverbs presents the pursuit of wisdom as walking together in friendship. 

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and we come to know and fear God by hearing his word and doing what it says. 

Wisdom is practical and applied — walked — not just head knowledge. 

Wisdom is about right relationship with God, each other, and his world. 

For this week's questions I was joined by Dr Wendy Soares. We tackled:

2. What does it look like to relate safely to an unsafe person? 

3. Are we meant to love unconditionally like God? What does it look like to have boundaries and love like this? 

4. Are Christians allowed to be angry? If so how do we express anger appropriately and encourage others to do the same?

This week Robyn, Matt, and Ryan join Nathan to answer:

1. How does God see us?

2. Is God homophobic? Is the church? Is our church?

3. If God knows the future, is it ok to be angry at God for not listening to us?

4. Where did Jesus go when he died? Did he descend into Hell like the creed says? And why?
