WISDOM IN THE AGE OF INFORMATION
In the modern world, we’ve never had more information at our fingertips. Answers to the most difficult questions can be found in a split-second using Google or AI, but amidst today’s endless amount of information, it seems wisdom is harder and harder to find. How can we, as faithful followers of Christ, grow not only in our knowledge but in our wisdom? How can we watch, read, listen, and consume content with discernment?
In this 2-day conference, we’ll explain the threats of the information age in the church, discuss the difference between wisdom and knowledge, and explain how you can develop a mind marked by biblical wisdom and discernment.
