In this episode of The Anchor Room we explore the wisdom books of the Old Testament and the role they play in shaping how we understand life. Dr. Stephen Dempster, retired professor from Crandall University walks us through Proverbs, Job, Psalms, and Ecclesiastes, and explains the Hebrew word Chokmah—wisdom in living. We talk about how these books are put together, why their structure matters, and how they help us pay attention, see clearly, and navigate the everyday decisions and challenges we face.

Dr. Dempster will be joining us at Heritage in May 2026 to teach a course called Living with Open Eyes: An Introduction to Biblical Wisdom Literature. If you want to study with Dr. Dempster, this spring and summer at Heritage is your opportunity.
