Summary

The 31st chapter of Proverbs is a beautiful piece of Scripture. However, it's so easy to read it in a way that is contrary to the original intent of the work. The result can mean that ladies/wives feel an overwhelming burden to strive, work, and toil to become the woman portrayed. In today's episode we discussed why that is and we propose a "better" reading of this famous chapter of Proverbs. We hope it blesses you. ALERT: this episode isn't just for ladies.
