Eat Don’t Compete with Jazmine DeWees

In this youth service message, Cheap Wisdom, I made an attempt at diving into what true, godly wisdom looks like according to James 3:13–17 and Proverbs 1:5–7. And the working definition I've derived is that "wisdom is the skill of discerning [insight into] how to [competently] act on the knowledge that leads to living in accordance to how God has designed for us as Christian to live.
 
Wisdom isn’t something we can buy cheaply or gain through shortcuts — it’s a Christian virtue that shapes how we live, decide, and discern. Together we’ll answer three key questions:
How not to get wisdom?
How we’ve settled for cheap wisdom?
How to pursue godly wisdom?
Using biblical examples, like Joseph’s choices in sharing his dreams, we’ll unpack what it means to walk in wisdom that honors God and leads to godly living.

In this seventh installment of The Blueprint of Becoming, we’re talking about prayer—not as a performance or formality, but as personal communication with God. Why is prayer important? Why does it matter to talk to the One who created you? Why should the created speak with the creator? And how do we actually pray with power and effectiveness?
We’ll explore:
Why Jesus calls us His friends (John 15:14-15)
The importance of daily dependence on the Bread of Life (John 6:35)
What makes prayer effective: faith, obedience, humility, confession, fasting, and more
Ephesians 1:17—through 3 different Bible translations
This is a soul check. Are you prioritizing prayer or treating it like a backup plan?
Reflection Question/Journal Prompt: How well do you wait on God? Are you approaching prayer as something you "have" to do or something you "get" to do?
