Use the following thoughts and questions to have one spiritual conversation. You can pick and choose, use them all or just allow the statement to be your guide. The emphasis shouldn’t be about having all the answers, but simply having a conversation.

1. Opening Statement
Begin your conversation by asking about this statement:

Godly wisdom roots us, motivates us, teaches us, and points us.

This statement is the biblical truth the student’s study was built around. Each week there will be one statement that ties the whole study together. These would be great statements to remember together. The hope is that thoughts and ideas will stem from these statements. You can also begin by sharing a thought of your own that you learned during your study of the same lesson. Ask what thoughts were surprising as the study was taught.

2. Thought From the Study

The wisdom of the age is, "Be true to yourself." While God does give every individual unique gifts and perspectives, this mantra, left unfettered, devolves into complete folly. Biblical wisdom, rather being rooted in the whims of man, is rooted in fear of the Lord.

What's wrong with the world's understanding of wisdom? How does the "Be true to yourself" line of thinking undermine God's authority over creation?
3. Quote for Discussion
Discuss this quote together. How does this change your understanding of a relationship with Jesus?

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” – Proverbs 1:7

4. Conversation Questions
Use these questions to begin thinking through and applying the lessons to your family life: 
1. How can we train our family to fear God?

2. Why does a healthy fear of God help our family become wise? 
3. How does growing in wisdom help our family bring glory to God? 
4. How does growing in wisdom help our family point others to Christ?
