How do preachers share God's wisdom if they do not have formal education?

Answered in 1 source

Preachers share God's wisdom through the revelation of Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, not based on their formal education.

In 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, Paul emphasizes that not many wise or mighty according to the flesh are called by God; instead, He chooses the simple and humble to confound the wise. This indicates that preaching is not contingent upon academic qualifications but rather on the divine calling and the knowledge of Christ. A preacher may lack formal education yet possess the wisdom of God if they are taught by the Spirit. The heart that knows God is more valuable than the degrees one may possess, as true understanding comes from a relationship with Christ. Ultimately, it is God who equips the called, enabling them to proclaim the gospel effectively regardless of their educational background.
