Real Strength Is Self-Control: What Proverbs 15 Teaches Christian Men About Their Words


Listen Later

In this Men After God Monday Bible Study, host Adrian Ferrari unpacks the meaning of true biblical strength through Proverbs 15. Unlike the world’s definition of power—measured by physical might or bravado—Scripture points men toward gentleness, wisdom, and self-control as the real markers of strength.

Adrian challenges listeners to consider the weight of their words and the condition of their hearts, emphasizing the need to accept correction with humility and to walk in joy even when life brings adversity. This episode offers practical, faith-centered steps for cultivating resilience, wisdom, and lasting spiritual strength that honors God and transforms daily life.
