What should you do when you're waiting on God—but nothing seems to be changing?

In Episode 85 of Wisdom Calling, Bobo returns to Psalm 37 for the second part of this study. After considering the apparent prosperity of the godless in the previous episode, we turn our attention to a more personal question: If we're not supposed to fret over what others are doing, what should we be doing instead?

Psalm 37 points us toward the promises of God and three practical responses: holy desires, holy patience, and holy activity.

We'll explore what it means to “befriend faithfulness,” how God's Word gradually reshapes what we desire, the difference between anxious and patient waiting, and why waiting on God never means remaining idle.

For Christian professionals navigating promotions, business decisions, uncertain outcomes, delayed opportunities, or simply wondering what God is doing, this episode offers a practical framework for remaining faithful without trying to force the future.

In this episode:
• How God's Word reshapes our desires
• Anxious waiting vs. patient waiting
• Why God's timetable doesn't always match ours
• How faith “cures fretting”
• What faithful action looks like while you wait
• Four practical exercises for putting Psalm 37 into practice

You don't have to control tomorrow to faithfully steward today.

What do you do when people who seem to have little regard for God are getting ahead, while you're trying to remain faithful and waiting?

In Episode 84 of Wisdom Calling, Bobo explores Psalm 37 and David's wisdom for one of life's most frustrating paradoxes: the apparent prosperity of the godless.

From social media comparisons to promotions, business opportunities, wealth, recognition, and professional success, what we see on the surface can easily distort our perspective. But David reminds us that perception is not always reality. We see the moment; God sees the whole.

Discover how contentment, generosity, patience, and trust can help us remain faithful when others appear to be winning—and walk away with practical steps for replacing comparison with gratitude, meditating on God's promises, practicing generosity, and learning to wait without becoming passive.

When they prosper, and you wait, wisdom says: Stay faithful.

As King David nears the end of his life in 1 Kings 1–2, his final conversations reveal timeless lessons about leadership, accountability, loyalty, discernment, and legacy.

• The danger of elevating loyalty over wisdom and character

• How wise leaders build discerning teams—not merely comfortable ones

• The overlooked significance of Barzillai’s quiet faithfulness

What if one of the clearest pathways to wisdom is learning to honestly face the brevity of life?

As King David neared the end of his life in I Chronicles 29, he publicly reflected on the eternal nature of God and the temporary nature of man, declaring, “Our days on the earth are like a shadow.” In this episode, we continue our chronological journey through Scripture and explore why numbering our days is not an exercise in fear or pessimism—but a catalyst for wisdom, intentionality, gratitude, and faithful leadership.

Drawing from Psalm 39, Psalm 90, Psalm 103, and Psalm 144, we’ll consider:

• Why Scripture repeatedly reminds us that life is short
• How eternal perspective reshapes leadership and work
• The danger of living as though time is unlimited
• Why stewardship of time is deeply spiritual
• How wisdom helps us live with greater clarity, purpose, and urgency

This episode is especially relevant for professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone wrestling with priorities, purpose, legacy, and the pace of modern life.

Life is brief.
Wisdom learns to live accordingly.
