About Biblical Phronesis (BP)
Biblical Phronesis (BP) is a Christian educational podcast designed to equip believers with practical, actionable wisdom for navigating leadership, life, and faith. Rooted in Scripture and supported by contemporary leadership thought, BP focuses on developing leaders who are spiritually grounded, emotionally intelligent, and strategically positioned to influence their world for Christ.
The podcast addresses a growing gap in Christian membership retention, particularly among professionals who desire relevance in modern leadership contexts while remaining steadfast in the faith. Through carefully curated, script-based, nonfiction episodes, BP explores biblical leadership principles that strengthen character, competence, credibility, commitment, and courage. These themes are woven together with essential virtues such as integrity, trust, reputation, self-discipline, a positive attitude, and servanthood, forming a golden thread of authentic and transformational leadership.
Each season integrates insights from best-selling leadership literature with biblical narratives, offering listeners practical frameworks for living out their Christian witness in workplaces, institutions, churches, and public spaces. By merging contemporary case studies with scriptural models, the podcast answers one critical question:
How can Christian leaders who aim for heaven remain relevant, effective, and influential on earth?
BP serves as a dynamic platform for professionals who desire to lead like Jesus—leaders who embody spiritual conviction, ethical clarity, and kingdom-focused excellence in every sphere of influence.

Choosing the Path of Peace | BPS9 E05
Title: Choosing the Path of Peace: David’s Pursuit of Reconciliation with Saul
Anchor Text: Romans 12:18
Contemporary Quote:
*"Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of God no matter the conflict." — Unknown & John 14:27; Phi. 4:7
In times of conflict—whether among colleagues, church members, or adversaries—Christian leaders must be the first to pursue reconciliation. David teaches us that peacemaking is proactive, not reactive. He reached out to Saul, spoke with respect, and appealed to God's justice rather than taking revenge into his own hands.
True leaders resolve rather than escalate. They sow peace even when surrounded by war.
Are there people in your life or ministry with whom peace has been broken?
Ask yourself:
- Have I done everything within my power to pursue reconciliation?
- Am I waiting for others to make the first move, or will I lead by reaching out?
