Leaders: Prove Wisdom by a Good Life | James 3:13
About This Video
James does not ask who can explain wisdom. He asks who can show it. In this episode, we unpack how wisdom is proven through humble, consistent action, not polished presentation. You will learn why prautēs means strength under control, how the heart-overflow principle shapes culture, and what real wisdom looks like in meetings, conflict, and daily decisions. Replace performance posturing with humble practices that make your life the evidence of wisdom. Takeaways: Let behavior lead before words. Your team believes what you live. Choose strength under control in pressure moments. Use the overflow check, what fills your heart is what your culture feels. What is one place this week you will prove wisdom instead of talking about it?

The Freedom of Confession
In leadership, trying to appear flawless often leads to a fractured soul. Confession isn't about guilt; it's about integrity and aligning with truth. When leaders acknowledge their imperfections, they create an environment of trust and growth, demonstrating that true maturity lies in honesty, not perfection.

Prove It: Wisdom Is More Than Words
In leadership, wisdom shows not in words but in actions. It's easy to craft a compelling story or boast about accomplishments, but true wisdom is demonstrated in daily choices and humility. As leaders, our character will inevitably surface, influencing how we handle feedback, collaboration, and integrity.
