The Secret Killer of Growth | Andy Wood

Main message: The voices you let sit at your "wisdom table" shape your perspective, your heart, and ultimately your destiny — so choose advisers whose wisdom and fruit align with God's ways, and put Jesus at the head of your table.

Key points:

• The "wisdom table" = the combination of voices (people, media, mentors) influencing your life; these voices frame how you see the world.
• Wrong voices can corrupt your heart and derail your destiny (illustrated by Solomon and Rehoboam's story).
• Evaluate who sits at your table by asking: What is the source of their wisdom? What is the fruit of their life?
• Godly wisdom is characterized by purity, peace, mercy, good fruit, etc.; worldly/selfish wisdom leads to disorder (James 3 contrast).
• Practical next steps: build healthy influence through small groups and mentors, and consciously put Jesus as Lord/head of your table (call to confess Jesus as Lord).
