Everything in your life flows from your heart—so what are you allowing in?

Wisdom begins when you intentionally guard your heart and choose God’s presence over distraction.

How do we develop a heart of wisdom?

In this episode of Wisdom Words, Peggy Teague explores the quiet, powerful process of cultivating wisdom from the inside out. Through a touching story about her grandmother’s garden, she reveals a profound truth: when the heart changes, everything changes.

Rooted in Proverbs 4:23, this episode challenges us to take inventory of what we allow into our hearts—through our thoughts, conversations, and daily habits. Are we feeding faith, or feeding fear?

You’ll be reminded that wisdom doesn’t come instantly—it grows through daily choices. Peggy also shares a personal story of learning to trust God more deeply, even when circumstances feel uncertain.

Finally, we look at the story of Mary and Martha and uncover one of the greatest hindrances to wisdom: busyness. When life feels overwhelming, the invitation is simple—come back to the feet of Jesus.

This episode is a call to slow down, refocus, and cultivate a heart that is fully surrendered to God.
