#845 "Boy, don't shrink your thinking! - Pops - Proverbs 11

<p><strong>What does </strong><a href="https://a.co/d/4CYg4vG" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Proverbs 11 </strong></a><strong>teach us about expanding our capacity for success, relationships, leadership, business, wealth, and the blessings God has for our lives? My Pops used to tell me, “Boy, don’t shrink your thinking”—and </strong><a href="https://a.co/d/4CYg4vG" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Proverbs 11 </strong></a><strong>might be one of the clearest biblical blueprints I’ve ever found for building a foundation strong enough to think bigger, live bigger, and handle more.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Yesterday, a friend told me about a phone call that happened because of <strong>one relationship</strong>—and that conversation could lead to a <strong>$25 million investment capable of shifting the landscape of one of the most well-known sports in the world.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Then we talked about <strong>Maddox </strong>getting serious about photography and what we were doing this weekend.</p><p>Normal conversation. </p><p><br></p><p>Oh…and I forgot. My morning started with one of the most elite trial lawyers in Atlanta talking about preparation, motherhood, serving her community, and some of the highest-profile cases in the country.</p><p><br></p><p>And it hit me:</p><p><strong>Relationships expand your world—but your foundation determines your capacity to handle what enters it.</strong></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://a.co/d/4CYg4vG" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Proverbs 11</strong></a> lays that foundation out in almost ridiculous detail.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Do the right thing.</strong><br><strong>Integrity wins.</strong><br><strong>Pride brings disgrace; humility brings wisdom.</strong><br><strong>You can’t buy love.</strong><br><strong>Relationships cannot be faked.</strong><br><strong>Put your hope in the right place.</strong><br><strong>Speak Life.</strong><br><strong>Preparation creates confidence.</strong><br><strong>Be generous.</strong><br><strong>Be good to people.</strong><br><strong>Watch your mouth.</strong><br><strong>Gossip never wins.</strong><br><strong>Foolish people talk about people. Wise people talk about ideas.</strong><br><strong>Seek wise counsel.</strong><br><strong>Stay out of debt.</strong><br><strong>Do right business.</strong><br><strong>Honor what is truly valuable.</strong><br><strong>Honor your family.</strong><br><strong>Trust God to provide.</strong><
