Proverbs 9:8 — When Wisdom Wounds: A Neurodivergent Look at Discernment


Listen Later

What happens when truth meets a heart that isn’t ready to hear it? In this 30-minute episode, Jane unpacks Proverbs 9:8—“Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.” Through a neurodivergent and trauma-informed lens, she explores why correction often feels like rejection, how our brains process threat and shame, and why discernment is as holy as truth itself.

You’ll learn how to recognize emotional readiness, how to speak wisdom without wounding yourself, and how to heal from the bruises that come from loving people who weren’t ready to listen.

Perfect for anyone who feels things deeply, thinks in layers, and wants to walk in wisdom without losing compassion.

Topics:
– Proverbs 9:7–12 explained
– The neuroscience of correction and defense
– Discernment in ministry and relationships
– Healing from the “injury” of obedience
– Practical rhythms for wise communication

Closing thought: Wisdom isn’t hurry—it’s harmony between truth and timing.
