Ep. 20: The Value of Elderly Wisdom: Why We Need Our Elders


Listen Later

We’re taking a pause from interviews with older Christians this week to answer the question “why?” —


Why ask older Christians for their wisdom, counsel and advice? Why turn to those who have gone before us? Why ask them what they think?


Join Katharine on the Eternal Echoes podcast as she uses the story of Rehoboam from 1 Kings 12 to illustrate the importance and value of tapping into the wisdom of our older saints. Plus some thoughts on the protection and blessing that wisdom offers and a warning about the consequences of listening to foolish counsel.


Key takeaways:

-Wisdom is a valuable asset in our walk with God

-Seeking wisdom begins with a humble heart posture

-God gives wisdom generously and ungrudgingly to those who ask for it

-Wisdom both protects and blesses us

-It’s wise to seek the counsel & advice of those with more life experience

-Listening to wise counsel can prevent disastrous consequences
