You say you want something different. But how bad do you really want it?
It's easy to admire someone else's success. We see the athlete, leader, businessperson, parent, or mature Christian they are today—but rarely see the years of discipline, sacrifice, failure, correction, and persistence that produced what we're admiring.
In this episode of Your Life, Dr. Tony Haire and Dan DeBruler turn to Proverbs 2 and Solomon's instruction to seek wisdom as though searching for hidden treasure.
There's an important principle underneath Solomon's words:
Desire is demonstrated by pursuit.
If we truly want wisdom, we have to listen. Ask questions. Receive correction. Seek understanding. Learn from people who have already walked the road—even when the person carrying that wisdom doesn't look like the messenger we expected.
Tony and Dan also connect Proverbs 2 with Jesus' encounter in Luke 9 with people who said they wanted to follow Him—until following required something from them.
But the conversation eventually becomes a challenge specifically to Christian men.
Where are the men intentionally investing in younger men?
Tony shares encounters with young men who seem disconnected and directionless and asks whether mature Christian men are willing to step into that gap. Dan makes the challenge practical: don't wait for a mentoring program.
Find someone.
Ask how he's doing—and mean it.
Follow up. Send the text. Share what you've learned. Help another man avoid some of the holes you stepped in yourself.
You don't accidentally become wise. And wisdom isn't meant to stop with you.
Someone around you may need the man God has spent years shaping you to become.
