Ep. 72 | Breaking The Myth That Knowledge Is Power


Listen Later

Knowledge is power. Think about that for a moment. 

Is it 100% true that knowledge is power? No, it isn't power. It has the potential to be powerful, but acting on the knowledge is where the power comes from.

For example, could you write a book in a week? The answer is yes. If you knew that you were going to sell 100,000 copies of your book at $20 per book, then yes, you could write a book in a week. Because you would then have the expectation of earning $2 million from book sales. In this example, people are not paying $20 just because you wrote a book. They're paying for the knowledge within the book. However, the power of the $2 million does not become possible unless you take action and write the book.

In today's episode, I want to talk about how knowledge really isn't power, and I want to dig in on the idea that is preventing you from taking action that turns it into power. This is a crucial topic when it comes to succeeding in your God given assignment, because the way God tests our faithfulness is through taking action. Listen in and see how you can be more confident to take action and pursue the assignment that he as for you!

Key Takeaways:

  • Knowledge is important but it's the performing of some action that is required to make it powerful
  • It's easy to talk about what you've learned but it's better to show what you learned
  • Knowledge and wisdom are different, and we're called to "get wisdom"
  • Knowledge X Action = Wisdom
