Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living (Part 3 - Self-Control)

Описание: I wholeheartedly believe that much of our modern wisdom is failing people.

Perhaps that sounds like a bit of a harsh or controversial thing to say for some of you, but for me I think that so much of our modern wisdom has been tried and tested … and found wanting.

See our generation and those growing up now who are a big younger than us we’re supposed to be this brilliant, bright, fantastically well informed, technologically advanced, amazingly independent, self-sufficient and gloriously entrepreneurial generation that could conquer the world — at least that’s what we were told growing up in a Disney world that taught us we can be whatever we want if we just desire it enough!!

Yet fast forward a few years - and our generation and younger are statistically the most depressed, the most anxious and stressed out generations there has ever been.

And our take on this for what it’s worth is that this is largely due to the fact that many of us grew up in homes, schools and societies where the values and principles laid out in the Bible were constantly being undermined, under estimated, degraded and eroded.

And the views and values that have tried to take their place over the last 25-50 years or so - have ultimately proven themselves to be hollow, and incapable of providing a truly moral framework where we can find genuine answers to life’s biggest and most important questions.

In this series we're going back to the ancient wisdom of proverbs to try and uncover how to live well in 2026 ... we'd love you to join us!
