In this episode of the "Be The Encounter Podcast," hosts James & Katie discuss Proverbs 2, emphasizing the pursuit of God's wisdom as a foundational "if-then" contract with believers. They explore the importance of discernment, prayer, and thanksgiving in overcoming anxiety and making wise decisions, especially within relationships. The Trents highlight the difference between fear and peace, encourage listeners to seek God's guidance above human advice, and remind them that thankfulness is the antidote to anxiety.
