You don’t build a house starting with the roof—and you don’t build a godly life without the fear of the Lord. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit , we explore why reverent awe is the starting point for biblical wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 calls us to a posture of humility and holy trembling before the God who defines truth. This kind of fear isn’t panic—it’s perspective. It’s what makes wisdom possible, and foolishness avoidable.
In This Episode:
- What the “fear of the Lord” really means—and why it matters
- How awe before God leads to clarity in life
- Why biblical worldview must be rooted in reverence, not relevance
Takeaway:
Fear isn’t the opposite of faith—it’s the foundation of wisdom. Let’s rebuild from the ground up.
