The research showing that regular church attenders are no more compassionate than non-church goers is deeply troubling. It's a sign of a deeper problem of discipleship. The fact that our own metrics don't even access this kind of growth is very telling.
I've been going to church for a while and the only thing I ever hear about wisdom is the proverbs, some of which I find patriarchal and troubling. I've been studying how Jesus was basically a wisdom teacher in the Jewish tradition, which is a fascinating perspective.

This is exciting research. Never thought of wisdom as something that can be measured like an IQ test.

The prevalence of foolishness is truly sad. Especially when it's in the highest office in the land.
The decline of wisdom. This is one of those things that hiding right in front of you but someone has to point it out to notice it. Good stuff.
