Since becoming a Christian at the age of 19, Boyd begins each day as a wisdom hunter, diligently searching for Truth in scripture, and through God’s grace, applying it to his life.

These raw, ‘real time’ reflections from his personal time with the Lord, are now impacting over 70,000 people through the Wisdom Hunters Daily Devotion email.   In addition to the daily devotion, Boyd has authored three devotional books: Infusion, a 90-day devotional, Seeking Daily the Heart of God, a 365-day devotional and Seeking God in the Psalms, a 90-day devotional along with several 30-day devotional e-Books on topics such as Wisdom for Fathers, Wisdom for Mothers, Wisdom for Graduates, and Wisdom for Marriage.

A Note from Boyd

What exactly is Wisdom Hunters? So glad you asked. Wisdom Hunters was inspired by Proverbs 13:20, ”He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

The Christian life was never meant to live alone, in fact, we grow wise as a result of daily spending time in the Word and surrounding ourselves with those striving to live accordingly.

For over 30 years, it has been a personal goal of mine to begin each day as a wisdom hunter, diligently searching for truth in Holy Scripture in the early quiet hours of the morning from the couch in my living room, with a cup of coffee, journal and pen in hand.

In 2004, I began to informally email out these personal reflections from my morning’s devotional time to a select group of fellow wisdom hunters. Overtime, these informal emails grew into Wisdom Hunters Daily Devotional, and today, thanks to our friends Family Christian Stores, reach over 65,000 wisdom hunters each morning!

Though the devotional is now being distributed far and wide, I am more convicted than ever to remain relentless in the pursuit of wisdom and and continue to daily write a raw, original ‘real time’ reflection from my personal time with the Lord which you can read here on wisdomhunters.com as well sign-up to receive it via email.  Most recently, it has been an honor to walk side-by-side fellow wisdom hunters every day on Facebook and Twitter! I’ve grown wise from the thoughtful comments and wisdom our fans and followers share each day. Thank you!

If you like the daily devotional and would like to read more, I’ve compiled my past devotionals into three books: Seeking God in the Psalms,Infusion, both 90-day devotionals and Seeking Daily the Heart of God, a 365-day devotional. These books are a compilation of devotionals based on wisdom gained from scripture and other fellow wisdom hunters throughout my 30-year career in full-time ministry, husband of 31 years, and father of four girls.

Thank you for joining me as a Wisdom Hunter,

Boyd
