Criticism stings—but wisdom listens. In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, we explore Proverbs 9:8–9 and the surprising truth that teachability is a hallmark of godly leadership. Fools resist correction. The wise lean into it, grow from it, and come back stronger. Whether you’re leading a team, a household, or just your own heart—your response to feedback reveals your spiritual maturity.

In This Episode:

• Why wise people welcome correction
• How to grow through feedback instead of bristle at it
• What Proverbs teaches about teachability and leadership

Takeaway:

Correction isn’t rejection—it’s God’s invitation to grow wiser.
