Eagles Wing Podcast – Proverbs 23: Discipline, Sobriety & Guarding Your Heart
Hosted by Deuce Brandt
In this powerful episode of the Eagles Wing Podcast, hosted by Deuce Brandt, we dive into Book of Proverbs Chapter 23 (Amplified Bible) and uncover hard-hitting wisdom about discipline, self-control, parenting, wealth, influence, addiction, and guarding the heart.
Proverbs 23 challenges us to examine our desires, our influences, and our appetites. It begins with a warning about sitting at the table of power and wealth—reminding us that not everything that looks attractive is beneficial. Riches are temporary. Chasing money at the expense of wisdom leads to emptiness. Wealth can grow wings and fly away.
In this episode, Deuce Brandt breaks down:
• Why uncontrolled desire can sabotage your future
• The danger of pursuing wealth through human wisdom alone
• “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” — the power of mindset
• The importance of applying instruction and correction
• Why discipline in parenting protects a child’s future
• The command to “Buy the truth and sell it not”
• The serious warning against drunkenness and escapism
• How addiction leads to sorrow, strife, poverty, and regret
One of the central themes in Proverbs 23 is discipline—both personal and parental. Correction is not cruelty; it is protection. Parents must model discipline before they can teach it. Clear values, consistent boundaries, and accountability build strength in the next generation.
Another major focus is sobriety and self-control. The passage paints a vivid picture of the person who lingers over wine—experiencing confusion, instability, regret, and craving more to escape reality. While directly addressing alcohol, the principle extends to anything that numbs the mind, alters judgment, or becomes an unhealthy dependency. What we use to escape pain can quietly enslave us.
The chapter also reminds us to guard our associations, protect the vulnerable, avoid envy, and remain in reverent fear of the Lord. There is a future and a reward for those who stay faithful. Hope is not cut off for the wise.
This episode of the Eagles Wing Podcast, hosted by Deuce Brandt, calls listeners to higher standards—clear thinking, disciplined living, wise parenting, and unwavering commitment to truth.
Guard your heart. Guard your appetites. Guard your influence.
Choose wisdom over impulse. Choose discipline over indulgence. Choose truth over temporary pleasure.
