We'll all eventually be confronted by an obstinate, argumentative skeptic, but is this seemingly contradictory passage in Proverbs instructing us to respond or to walk away? Todd exposes the true meaning of Proverbs 26:4-5, which equips us to deal rightly and biblically with the "idiots" in our life.

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.
