In this episode of Beyond Just Christian Podcast, Brenna discusses the clear differences between the prudent from the simpleton. Using Solomon as our example, we see how easy it is to choose our way over God’s way though we know exactly what He commands us to do. Despite how knowledgeable we may be, we are still prone to choosing wrongly because we are still sinful human beings. By the end of this episode, Brenna hopes that listeners will continue applying God’s wisdom to their lives, thus continuing to honor Him as wise people. Self-Reflection Questions:Knowing what the Bible says about the simpleton, how have I fallen into any similar tendencies, patterns, and/or behaviors of one?  Write and address how I have turned my heart away from the Lord and rejected personal application of His wisdom. Knowing what the Bible says about the prudent person, how have I demonstrated a prudent-like attitude in my own life? Write and address how I have succeeded with these similar tendencies, patterns, and/or behaviors.Often, we know what we are commanded to do, and we can succeed for a long time before we fall. How can those who are wise and gifted fall into temptations/sinful patterns? Why are we prone to choose our own way although God has already made it clear what is right in His sight?What traits differ from the prudent from the simpleton? Creating your own chart, what are some words/observations you’d use to differentiate the prudent from the simpleton? EX: The Prudent: Considers every available option and prays before acting. The Simpleton: Jumps headfirst without contemplation As prudent people, we are called to have self-awareness and awareness of others around us. How can we be honest in the evaluation of ourselves as we move forward?Scriptures Mentioned1 Kings CH. 41 Kings 11:1-13, 42-43Romans 12:2, 3Proverbs 21:2Proverbs 14:12Proverbs 27:12Proverbs 19:25Proverbs 14:15Proverbs 14:8,18Proverbs 15:241 Thessalonians 5:2Psalm 119:130Proverbs 28:26Proverbs 2:6Ecclesiastes 8:1Proverbs 3:21-23Proverbs 2:1-11  Buy my Bible/Supplies here:1.   Bible: NLT Large-Print Thinline Reference Bible, Filament Enabled Edition--soft leather-look, floral/teal: 9781496444912 - Christianbook.com2.   Highlighters: Aesthetic Highlighters, 8 Pcs, Chisel Tip, Muted Pastel Color, No Blee – Mr. Pen (mrpen.com)3.   Bible Page Tabs: Floral Bible Tabs – The Daily Grace Co.My Fave Websites to Find Studies, Books, Bibles, and Accessories:1.   Christian Books, Bibles, Gifts & more. - Christianbook.com2.   Hosanna Revival | Beautiful Bibles, Prayer Journals, Planners & More3.   Equipping Disciples in the Word – The Daily Grace Co.4.   Home - She Reads Truth -She Reads Truth Listen to My Previous Podcast Episode Here:https://open.spotify.com/episode/0wpWackiDMAxHLFDtNIYMw?si=f7d0ccb7e8c34687 Where to Stream My Podcast:SpotifyAnchorApple PodcastsBreakerCastboxGoogle Podcasts OvercastPocket CastsRadio PublicStitcher  Follow Me on LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/brennacovelens Read My Published Article Here:Does God Really Know Me?
