2026-01-0731 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 100 | The Wife of Noble CharacterProverbs 31 is often misunderstood. It’s either admired from a distance or dismissed as unattainable. In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we reframe this familiar passage, not as a checklist for wives, but as a portrait of a person marked by wisdom. Proverbs 31 reveals the difference between knowledge and wisdom: wisdom is truth lived out in how we speak, serve, and love. This chapter is an invitation to right living, rooted in humility, faithful service, and contentment in God’s pleasure. As Proverbs comes to a close, it brings us back to where it all began: the fear...
2025-12-2437 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 99 | Lead wellToday, we explore Proverbs 28 and its compelling contrast between the profile of a wise leader and the profile of a foolish one. As we unpack these qualities, we’re invited to consider what kind of disciple we are becoming. Are the marks of wisdom taking shape in us, or are there quiet lingerings of folly we’ve allowed to stay?WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God.

2025-12-1037 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 98 | A Cautionary TaleIn this episode, we explore Proverbs 26:1–12 as a cautionary tale that exposes the downward spiral of folly and the danger of letting our values drift from Scripture. Solomon paints a vivid picture of the fool, calling out the ways we applaud folly when our morals become culturally shaped rather than biblically grounded. We talk about the importance of “knowing the soil,” applying wisdom with discernment, and paying attention to the convictions God is pressing on our hearts. With Proverbs’ strong language about sin and foolishness, this passage challenges us to stop whitewashing areas of folly and ask honestly: What has God...
2025-11-2632 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 97 | The 30 Sayings of the WiseIn this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we explore The 30 Sayings of the Wise found in Proverbs 22:17–24:22. Solomon reminds us that true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, a continual awareness of His presence, deep reverence for Him, and sincere commitment to obey Him. Each saying becomes a practical guide for daily living, covering friendship, money, discipline, envy, and character. From listening to wisdom and caring for the poor to choosing your friends wisely and living with integrity, these timeless truths reveal how godly wisdom shapes every part of our lives.WHAT IS NE...
2025-11-1243 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 96 | What do you crave?In Proverbs 21, we’re invited to pause and ask, What do you crave? This episode explores how our cravings shape our motives—and ultimately, our lives. The wise show restraint in speech and live with an abundance mindset, giving freely and trusting God. The fool, on the other hand, is consumed by endless craving and a scarcity mindset. Through this lens, we’re challenged to examine our own motives: What are we feeding on? Are our desires making us more like Jesus, or pulling us further away?WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a n...
2025-10-2937 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 95 | Wise words, wise choicesIn this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we unpack Proverbs 18 and the weight of our words. What we say—and when we say it—matters deeply. Our words can build up or tear down, bring life or cause harm. We’re also challenged to reflect on our friendships: Who shapes us most, and what kind of friend are we becoming? This conversation invites us to consider both the wisdom of our speech and the influence of our relationships, pointing us back to the source of true wisdom—God Himself.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue T...
2025-10-1528 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 94 | The Weight of Our WordsIn this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we dive into Proverbs 17 and the weight of our words. Scripture reminds us that life and death are in the power of the tongue—our words matter, and so does what we listen to. In a culture quick to post, type, and react, God’s Word calls us to slow down, be honest, and pursue wisdom. We explore how sin is a choice that carries consequences, but how taming our tongues can bring joy and align us with the fruit of the Spirit. True wisdom is found not in the endless nois...
2025-10-0131 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 93 | Wisdom's response to wickednessIn this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we dive into Proverbs 16:25–30 and explore the profile of the wicked—what they look like, what they do, and how we are called to respond. Proverbs, as ancient poetry, requires us to wrestle with its context before we interpret it. This passage reveals the dangerous progression of pride left unchecked, which leads to the downward spiral of wickedness. We uncover how arrogance, deceit, and quickness toward evil contrast with the slowness and steadiness of wisdom. Ultimately, God’s Word offers us a mirror to examine our own hearts, not just a micros...
2025-09-1742 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 92 | Good fruit or rotten fruit?In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we explore Proverbs 14:29–35 and the clear contrast between the fruit of wisdom and the fruit of folly. Wisdom produces life, blessing, and the favor of God, while folly produces rotten consequences. We’re reminded that wisdom is not a one-time decision but a daily, enduring pursuit. Choosing to walk in wisdom means choosing to walk with God Himself—day after day, step by step.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word o...
2025-09-0330 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 91 | Discipline is GOOD!In Proverbs 13:21–25, we’re reminded that discipline isn’t punishment—it’s actually good for us. This passage calls us to trust God’s timing and character, even when life feels unfair. We see themes of justice, legacy, stewardship, parenting, and satisfaction woven together. Discipline becomes the thread: it’s how we train our hearts to wait on God, to crave what is truly good, and to live in step with His ways.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of Go...
2025-08-2032 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 90 | Listen & LearnIn this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we’re diving into Proverbs 13 and unpacking the posture of wisdom—one that listens, learns, and lives it out. From guarding our words to submitting to God’s authority, this chapter gives us insight into the heart of the wise. Are we ruled by cravings or shaped by discipline? Do we pray before we speak? Cherie walks through practical and spiritual reflections on integrity, speech, cravings, and work ethic. The righteous are guarded by their integrity—so what posture are you choosing?WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue T...
2025-08-0629 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 89 | Don't be stupid!Proverbs 12 opens with a blunt truth: if you hate instruction, you’re being stupid. In this episode, we explore what it means to be teachable and how wisdom shapes not only our thoughts and actions, but also the stability of our lives. The righteous seek counsel, pursue justice, and walk in a way that’s secure and grounded. We don’t get to compartmentalize our lives as followers of Jesus. From our thoughts to our speech to our character, all of life is for Him. Listen in for a timely reflection on godly wisdom and an honest question: Where in you...
2025-07-2331 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 88 | The Weight of our WordsIn this episode, we dive into Proverbs 11 and explore the powerful theme of our words—how they reflect our hearts and impact our communities. Scripture is clear: God cares deeply about our speech. We look at how wise words build up while careless words tear down, and we examine the call to humility that makes us slow to speak. Through several passages within Proverbs, Psalms, James, 1 Peter, and Titus, we learn that stewarding our words well is part of representing Jesus wherever we go. We also take an honest inventory of our speech: Are we quick to listen? Do ou...
2025-07-0949 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 87 | Lady Wisdom vs. Lady FollyIn this episode, we unpack Proverbs 9 and the powerful imagery of Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly, two voices calling out, each offering a very different path. Lady Wisdom invites us to a life rooted in God’s Word, one of intentional obedience and transformation. Her way leads to life. Lady Folly, on the other hand, entices us to stay in our foolishness, a path that ultimately leads to death. Wisdom is not idle or silent. It's calling us to train ourselves in God’s truth. And if we find ourselves stuck in folly, we’re reminded that change begins with c...
2025-06-2534 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 86 | A Cautionary Tale and How To Avoid ItIn this powerful episode, we dive into Proverbs 7 and the sobering story of seduction that warns us of the consequences of sexual sin, specifically adultery. But more than just a cautionary tale, this chapter paints a clear picture of what wisdom and obedience look like. We explore the 10th paternal appeal in Proverbs, highlighting how treasuring God’s wisdom protects us from destruction. You’ll learn three key exhortations to help guard your heart: Don’t wander—be intentional, don’t be naive—be prepared, and don’t do it alone—stay accountable. This isn’t just about avoiding sin; it’s about ch...
2025-06-1134 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 85 | Discipline-Desire-DelightIn this episode, we explore three powerful themes found throughout Proverbs: discipline, desire, and delight. Far from being harsh or punitive, the Lord’s discipline is always meant to instruct and shape us. Discipline is a key indicator of a teachable spirit—are you open to correction from God? We also dig into how discipline leads to right desires and how corrupt desires often stem from a lack of it. Finally, we unpack the concept of delight—both our delight in the Lord and His delight in those who walk in wisdom. If you're longing to stay on the straig...

2025-05-1447 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 83 | What God HatesIn this episode, we explore Proverbs 6:16–19, where God clearly names seven things He finds detestable—yet reminds us that even these sins are covered by His grace. We’re challenged to reflect on whether we take sin as seriously as God does, and to stay humble, teachable, and alert. When we think we're immune to temptation, we become vulnerable prey for the Enemy. This conversation invites us to move beyond dismissing "small sins" and cultivate a posture of vigilance and dependence on God's mercy.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit minist...
2025-04-3033 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 82 | Avoid SeductionIn this powerful episode, we tackle the often-avoided topic of sexual purity through the lens of Proverbs 5:1–14. God’s design for sexuality is good—but it’s also bound by wisdom, covenant, and purpose. We explore how going outside of God’s boundaries invites brokenness and consequences, and why boundaries aren’t about legalism but about freedom and fruitfulness. Whether you're single or married, this message challenges you to examine your thoughts, emotions, and actions in light of biblical truth—and to ask the honest question: How important is sexual purity to me?WHAT IS NEUE THING?...

In this episode of the Neue Thing Podcast, we’re diving into Proverbs 4 and the gift of God’s imperatives: not rules to weigh us down, but invitations to freedom and alignment with His heart. You’ll hear why staying on the “straight paths” means committing to God’s Word, guarding your heart, and being mindful that we’re never immune to wandering. Tune in to be encouraged, not overwhelmed, and reminded of the joy that comes from walking in wisdom.EPISODE LINKSGod I Look To You...

But how do we discern true wisdom from the noise all around us? In this episode, we unpack what it means to listen well, making sure God’s voice is the loudest in our lives. Without His wisdom, we’ll struggle to navigate the challenges we face in life–political division, culture wars, and family strife. Are you a good listener, or are you quick to speak and quick to become angry? Let’s talk about how we can tune our hea...
2025-03-1932 minNeue Thing PodcastEp. 79 | How We Treat OthersIn this episode, we explore Proverbs 3:27-35 and the powerful wisdom it offers on justice, honor, and the consequences of how we treat others. Scripture challenges us not to withhold good from those who deserve it and warns against envying those who seem to prosper through wickedness. Instead, we are called to trust God, be faithful where He has placed us, and seek wisdom—because the wise will inherit honor. These verses are a rich reminder of how much we should treasure wisdom and live it out daily.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Th...

When we rely only on ourselves, we risk being foolish.In all your ways know Him – Trusting God isn’t just for big decisions; it means seeking His wisdom in every area of life.The Prom...

Unpacking active language in this passage—accept, store up, call out, seek, search—emphasizes that wisdom doesn’t just happen; it’s something we must prioritize. Cherie challenges listeners to reflect on how their time reflects their priorities and highlights how pursuing wisdom ultimately leads us to the fear of the Lord (Romans 12:1-2). The reward? Favor and provision. True wisdom isn’t stumbled upon—it’s pursued.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to...

Yahweh reminds us of His personal desire for relationship with this name–which we first read about in Exodus as He reveals Himself to Moses.

We see parallels between Paul’s plea to Philemon and the amazing grace of Jesus for every child of God. Forgiveness is a necessary ingredient in the heart of every follower of Jesus. First and foremost, it aligns our hearts with God. But it also releases the debt of those who wrong us–without condoning the sin. We’re left to experience freedom and grace from God when we forgive.
