The Proverbs 31 Woman: Not a Checklist, but a Calling

Proverbs 31 is often treated like a checklist — a standard to measure ourselves against and quietly feel behind on. But what if it was never meant to be that?

In this episode of Unscripted Conversations, we’re slowing down and looking at Proverbs 31 through a different lens. Not as a list of expectations, but as a calling shaped over time. We talk about worth before work, trust before tasks, and character before capability — and how wisdom shows up in real life, not hustle culture.

We also connect Proverbs 31 to the story of Mary and Martha, exploring the difference between busyness and presence, responsibility and wisdom, striving and being rooted.

This conversation is an invitation to release pressure, rethink what faithfulness actually looks like, and remember that God cares more about who we’re becoming than how much we’re producing.

Grab your Bible, slow your pace, and join me as we open Proverbs 31 together — not to rush through it, but to let it speak into the life we’re actually living right now.
