Summary
Though it was penned thousands of years ago, the Book of Proverbs offers a wealth of guidance that helps you live well today. It's also a common target for skeptics who claim its contradictory, makes false promises, and is plagiarized from other ancient texts. Jean E. Jones joins the podcast to take these challenges head on and to share what Proverbs says about topics such as money, sexuality, and relationships.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast where we equip Christians to identify the core |
| 0:13.3 | beliefs of historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with |
