Can You Know the Bible and Still Make Foolish Decisions?

November 4, 2026 · 31 min

Some of us know the Bible inside and out, yet struggle to make wise decisions in everyday life. Jesus told a story that sounds wrong at first and ends up showing us where wisdom with money really begins.Let's walk through Luke 16:1–14 and the parable of the unjust steward, looking at what the master actually praised and what the word shrewd really means. We also see why Jesus told it to the Pharisees and how we can be generous, faithful stewards instead of being mastered by money.0:00 Book Smart, Street Smart, or Both?7:58 The Parable That Seems to Reward a Cheat11:44 What the Unjust Steward Actually Did16:00 Are the Lost Wiser With Money Than Christians?21:27 Why Jesus Told This Story to the Pharisees25:20 How to Use Money Without Being Mastered by It Support the showDr. Shah writes a personal letter every week — reflections on Scripture, faith, and living it out with clarity and purpose. GET THE LETTER If you enjoyed the show, please like and follow our Facebook and Instagram pages, and also subscribe to our YouTube channel.
