Scripture 03: Wisdom for human flourishing

Scripture doesn't prescribe what to do in every situation. But woven throughout is profound wisdom that can shape the choices we make and the people we become — especially as we embrace the slow, lost art of biblical meditation. John Mark and BibleProject’s Dr. Tim Mackie, Dr. Brittany Kim, and Hakeem Bradley discuss what it means to approach Scripture as “wisdom literature” and “meditation literature.” Wisdom literature encourages readers to internalize God’s values, making decisions that promote flourishing for themselves and others. Meditation literature invites readers to slow down, immerse themselves in Scripture, and allow its truths to permeate us to the extent that they transform how we interact with others.
