    Rewind: Wisdom for Seniors With Mark Matlock

    In this Summer Rewind episode, we revisit a conversation with author and speaker Mark Matlock about one of the most important qualities a student can develop before college: wisdom. Mark unpacks what wisdom really looks like in everyday life and why it’s so crucial during the transition from high school to adulthood. As students begin making more independent and life-shaping decisions, learning to seek wisdom—rather than just knowledge—can lead to better choices, stronger faith, and lasting purpose.
