Description
“Who among you is wise and understanding?” —James 3:13. We live in an age of information. At the touch of a button we can access a world of information on nearly any given topic. While there are certainly advantages to this, the fact remains that having lots of information isn’t the same as having wisdom. Sure, we may be able to write a research paper for school more easily and even self-diagnose a health issue, but that doesn’t mean we know how to live wisely. Ultimately, wisdom isn’t about knowing something, but knowing someone—Jesus—and how He transforms our hearts and helps us to live and act wisely before others. Grounded is an eight-session Bible study designed to guide students to a holistic understanding of biblical wisdom. Building on themes in Proverbs such as wise counsel, the heart, relationships, actions and attitudes, work, money, and the power of words, each session is supported through practical application found in the Book of James. Throughout the study, authors Clayton and Sharie King uncover not only what the Bible has to say, but practical advice on how to live wisely in each of these areas.
