If you’re a planner, a goal-setter, or someone who loves mapping out the future… this passage might challenge you, in the best way.

In this episode, we’re walking through James 4:13–17 and talking about what it really means to make plans with God instead of assuming we’re in control.

Because the issue isn’t planning… it’s presumption.

We’ll break down:

• What “boasting about tomorrow” actually means

• Why our lives are described as a mist

• The difference between godly planning and worldly striving

• What it looks like to say “If the Lord wills” in your everyday life

• The often-overlooked sin of not doing what God calls you to do

This is a convicting and freeing reminder that: You don’t need to have your whole life figured out… you just need to be obedient today.

Have you ever wondered if the way you’re thinking, reacting, or making decisions is truly rooted in God’s wisdom?

In this verse-by-verse Bible study of James 3:13–18, we uncover the clear and convicting difference between earthly wisdom and wisdom that comes from heaven. James shows us that true wisdom isn’t just about what we know, it’s revealed through how we live, how we love, and how we respond to others.

We’ll talk about:

• What biblical wisdom really is (and where it comes from)

• The warning signs of earthly wisdom: envy, selfish ambition, and pride

• How to recognize godly wisdom in your daily life

• What it looks like to be a peacemaker and sow seeds of righteousness

If you’re a Christian mom seeking to live with intention, grow in your faith, and align your life with God’s Word, this episode will both challenge and encourage you.
