What if the loudest sound in a successful life is a troubled conscience? We dive into Job’s debates and find a mirror for our own moment: brilliant arguments that miss the mark, confident opinions that drown out wisdom, and a culture that calls greed ambition while the heart keeps asking harder questions.

We walk through Eliphaz’s portrait of the wicked and the “dreadful sound” that follows them into prosperity, connecting it to modern leaders and celebrities who can buy anything except peace. Along the way, we challenge a popular myth: that knowledge alone guarantees truth. It doesn’t. Without wisdom, humility, and love, even accurate doctrines become arrows aimed at the wrong target. We talk about why study matters, how to ask God for wisdom that tempers learning, and how to keep counsel from turning into cruelty.

From Psalm 73 to Proverbs, we trace how Scripture reframes success, suffering, and the restless chase for “just a little more.” Wealth isn’t evil, but the love of it distorts our vision and hollows our desires. True inheritance doesn’t pad an account; it anchors a soul. Streets of gold are pavement because presence is the treasure. That’s why legacies fade while life in Christ endures. If your reward is now, it ends. If your reward is Christ, it begins now and it doesn’t end.
