The Beginning of Knowledge

I’m digging into the podcast vault to share this episode from exactly 5 years ago (really, Feb 7, 2020 to today, Feb 7, 2025)! This episode covers The Book of Proverbs attributed to King Solomon. I had an epiphany of sorts about a key idea in this wisdom literature - The Fear of the Lord.

I had always been baffled by that statement. Is that a trembling fear? A sense of awe?What am I supposed to make of this idea of fear and what does it mean in terms of how I relate to the Lord? I actually found part of the answer in the Book of Proverbs itself. That’s one of my key points in this episode.

I re-introduce the episode at the start and add some more recent experiences with the Fear of the Lord that occurred in 2024. I hope you enjoy!
