In a world obsessed with branding, visibility, and self-promotion, what does it mean to live for the name of someone else?

In this episode of The Wisdom Calling Podcast, we explore David’s posture of humility in 2 Samuel 7:18-29 and the awe-filled wonder of Psalm 8. After receiving a covenant promise from God—one that would make his name great—David doesn’t boast. He bows. His response offers a powerful model for modern professionals navigating ambition, identity, and purpose.

Together, we’ll reflect on:

• Why God’s covenant with David was never about David’s merit
• How Psalm 8 reorients our view of ourselves and God’s majesty
• The danger of personal branding in spiritual disguise
• How to audit the story our lives are telling the world

If you’ve ever wrestled with ambition, image, or influence, this episode will challenge and encourage you to embrace the wisdom of humility and live for the One whose name truly matters.

In this episode of The Wisdom Calling Podcast, we revisit a powerful moment in Israel’s history—when the ark of God returned and King David led the people in a national celebration of worship. As voices rose and instruments played, Psalm 96 and Psalm 106 were sung—two psalms filled with praise, reflection, and deep wisdom.

What do these songs teach us about the character of God? Why does worship require both celebration and confession? And how can remembering the past help us live more wisely in the present?

Join Bobo as we unpack the “Hallelujah” of praise and the humility of repentance—and discover how worship reorients our hearts, strengthens our steps, and cultivates lasting wisdom.

More than a history lesson, it’s a wisdom moment. As David leads with remembrance and worship, we see how gratitude grounds us in truth and positions us for strategic, Spirit-led living.

We’ll unpack how remembering God’s works shapes our mindset, sharpens our discernment, and strengthens our resolve in the present. This episode invites you to think more critically about how you process the past—and to live more strategically as you move forward with faith and clarity.
