What Your Kids Should Know about the Book of Proverbs, with Jonah Swanson

Part II of my Summer of Proverbs series with my sons!

Gather your kids and join Jonah and I for part II of my summer Proverbs series!

The Book of Proverbs is packed full of wisdom and has incredibly practical help for all of the things kids (and adults) face today. The Swanson boys have all grown up reading a lot of Proverbs and it has shaped them into the (wise) young men they are today.

In today’s episode, Jonah (22) joins us teach us a bit more about the book of Proverbs…Who wrote it, how to read it, why it matters, and more. Your kids will learn a lot in this episode and hopefully finish it with fresh inspiration to grow in wisdom! 

NOTES:

Scriptures Jonah mentioned:
1 KINGS 3:3-15 (When Solomon asked for wisdom.)(Family dinnertime Q: What would you have asked for!)
1 Kings 4:32 (some interesting stats!)

Proverbs 1:2-4 (the purpose of the book!)
Proverbs 1:7 (Where does wisdom come from?)

Proverbs 18:21
Proverbs 20:7
Proverbs 27:17

“The book of Proverbs gives us principles not promises.” –– Jonah.
