Proverbs 1 - 4

Heather Crespin
About this episode

Proverbs has been a highly requested book. It is a collection of wise sayings and teachings meant to help people live with wisdom, kindness, and respect for God. Most of the proverbs were written by King Solomon, known for his great wisdom.

I won't be reading through all of the book in a row, but this episode is covering the first 4 chapters. Solomon speaks like a father giving advice to his son. He encourages his son to listen, learn, and treasure wisdom. He warns about the dangers of following bad influences and explains how wisdom brings safety, peace, and a better life.
