## Resource

In the first message of the Soapbox Sundays series, Scott makes the case for how an intellectual, reflective life is a spiritual life. Looking at the wisdom literature of Proverbs 4, this teaching explores how engaging our minds across generations, embracing curiosity, and asking hard questions helps us love God and serve our neighbours more deeply. Key Takeaways & Outline: Welcome & Fall Outlook: Reflecting on community life and upcoming fall opportunities, including the Marda Loop parish launch. What Minds Are For: Why living a thoughtful and reflective life is integral to spiritual growth. All We Inherit: The importance of engaging with history, tradition, and wisdom passed down through generations. Getting Wisdom: How curiosity, courage, and wrestling with big questions shape a healthy faith. Learning as Love: Fulfilling the command to love God with all our mind and using knowledge to edify others. Scripture References: Proverbs 4:1–9 Proverbs 4:23–26 ★ Support this podcast ★
