How to be an Idiot: Fail to Learn from Your Own Mistakes

How to be an Idiot

Todd states that for him, one of the most frustrating aspects of ministry is seeing people fail to learn from their mistakes. Proverbs 17:10 says that even after 100 lashes, a fool will not see his error. Listen as Todd lays out seven simple "don'ts" and one "do" to avoid falling into this trap.

About 'How to be an Idiot'

The ancient Greeks had a word for it - "idios" - someone consumed with his own interests and opinions. It's the origin of the English word "idiot," someone we regard today as lacking wisdom or good judgment. And, interestingly enough, the Bible has a lot to say about idiots, either painting vivid portraits of individuals relying on their own reasoning or laying out specific warnings about the danger of pursuing our own instincts and desires when they run contrary to Gods Word. In this 12-part series Todd Wagner helps us recognize our innate tendencies to reject wisdom and provides practical insight for living blessed, purposeful lives.
