Don’t Be the Loudest Voice in the Room
Manage episode 489207358 series 3670687
In a world that rewards volume, Scripture praises restraint. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, we unpack Proverbs 17:27 and the surprising strength of quiet wisdom. It’s not about having nothing to say—it’s about knowing when to say it. From boardrooms to family tables, godly discernment often sounds like silence before it speaks.
In This Episode:
- Why wise people aren’t always the loudest
- How measured words reflect maturity and self-control
- What Jesus teaches us through His strategic silence
Takeaway:
Sometimes, the wisest person in the room is the one who listens first.
