You’re Missing It...And It’s Costing You Everything... - RTBP Episode 223

Reason To Behold

Arnold dives into the spiritual disconnect many believers experience between prayer and practical clarity—especially when it comes to money, decision-making, and daily life. Could it be that God has already answered your prayers—but you just haven’t been listening properly? Drawing from Proverbs 1:20–21, this conversation unpacks how divine wisdom isn’t just hidden in holy spaces, but is shouting in the streets.

Highlights From The Episode “Wisdom isn’t hiding in the quiet. She’s shouting in the noise.” “We don’t miss wisdom because she’s silent. We miss her because we’re distracted.” “Not every victory is won by being right. Sometimes the wise win by choosing peace over pride.” “Wisdom won’t always feel good, but it will make your life better.” “You don’t enter the Kingdom at the altar and leave it when you get to the office.” “The loudest voice in the room isn’t always the wisest—it’s just the one we’ve been trained to hear.” Practical Steps You Can Take Start a wisdom journal – Capture those convictions, nudges and inner checks. Don’t let them pass. Pause before the next decision (big or small) – Ask: “What is the wise thing to do here?” Delete distractions – Consider muting social noise to make space for divine clarity. Pray James 1:5 daily – “Lord, give me wisdom and help me not to ignore it when it comes.” Let conviction lead you – Don’t dismiss that inner nudge. Wisdom often sounds like restraint, not volume.
