The Pentecast: Day 14 - Debi Matthews

It’s day 14 of our daily Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today’s guest is Debi Matthews, back with Tim to tackle the life and legacy of Solomon — the wisest man who ever lived, and one of the Bible’s most complex figures.

They’re digging into 1 Kings 4–11, which captures Solomon’s rise as a wise and wealthy king who builds the temple and pens the Proverbs and Song of Songs. But, as Tim and Debi point out, wisdom in words doesn’t always equal wisdom in life. Solomon’s downfall is striking — despite all his insight, he strays, distracted by wealth, women, and compromise. Debi brings a thoughtful challenge: it’s not just about knowing good things — we’re called to live them out. That includes how we view our bodies, relationships, and sexuality. In a refreshingly honest take, they remind us that God created sex — it’s good and holy, but must be handled with wisdom and care.

Their prayer asks for that very wisdom — not just for our heads, but for our hearts and choices too. As Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Let’s not just speak wisdom — let’s live it. See you tomorrow for Day 15!
