Human Intelligence

What does it mean to be truly human in an age where technology is reshaping how we think, connect, and even make decisions? That question sits at the heart of this exploration into one of the oldest and most practical books of the Bible: Proverbs. Rather than cataloging the dangers of artificial intelligence, we take a different approach entirely, diving deep into ancient wisdom to understand what genuine human intelligence looks like. The book of Proverbs, positioned at the center of Scripture's five wisdom books, was never meant to be a list of rules. It was meant to be a conversation, a father speaking to a son, one generation pouring into the next, passing along the kind of knowledge that no algorithm can replicate. Wisdom, we discover, is relational at its core. It lives in the spaces between efficiency and connection, between getting the right answer and being known by someone who walks with us through the consequences of our choices. When we lean too heavily on technology for guidance, we gain information but risk losing the investment that comes when real people speak into our real lives. The wisdom of Proverbs meets us in those in-between spaces, the dinner table dynamics, the temptations that look appealing on the surface, the fools in our lives we keep trying to reason with. It is ancient, yes, but it is startlingly alive for the world we are navigating right now.
