Volume 5 of Wisdom Calling is here—and in this episode, we turn to one of its most timely and urgent themes: anger and violence.

Drawing from Proverbs and Devotional 150, we explore where anger comes from, how it corrodes relationships and communities, and how unchecked wrath can escalate into strife and even violence. But Proverbs also points us toward a better way: the wisdom of peace, patience, and self-control.

In a culture quick to outrage, this episode is an invitation to look deeper—into the roots of our own frustration, the influences shaping us, and the path of wisdom that leads to reconciliation and life.

Join us as we reflect, pray, and take practical steps toward becoming peacemakers in our families, workplaces, and communities.

We live in a world drowning in information but starving for wisdom. In this special episode, recorded from a recent presentation at the inaugural Hatch2025 conference in Henderson, Nebraska, Bobo Beck explores ten travel notes on wisdom—insights gained from Scripture and life experience that offer clarity in a distracted and disoriented age.

From the universality of wisdom to its embodiment in Jesus Christ, each “travel note” shows why wisdom is worth pursuing—and how it can shape our lives today.

Join us as we pause our David series to ask a timely question: What really matters most?

What happens when desire overrides wisdom? In this episode of The Wisdom Calling Podcast, we explore one of the most sobering moments in David’s life—his sin with Bathsheba, the attempted cover-up, and the devastating consequences that followed.

We trace the ancient pattern of sin—see, covet, take—from Eden to David, and into our modern lives. But we also witness a turning point: the mercy of God amid judgment, and the first signs of restoration through the birth of Solomon.

Whether you’re battling temptation, wrestling with guilt, or walking with someone in the fallout of bad choices—this episode will point you back to truth, repentance, and hope.
