Overview:
In Episode 26, Greg Carroll offers hard-hitting wisdom from Proverbs 26 on how to handle foolishness—especially when it comes to financial decisions and conversations. This episode emphasizes discernment, humility, and the danger of pride, laziness, and circular arguments. It’s not just about staying the course—it’s about walking with wisdom when others around you mock, resist, or mislead.

What You’ll Learn:

Why discernment is key when deciding whether to respond to critics or walk away
The danger of returning to habits God has already delivered you from
How laziness often wears the disguise of logic and excuses
Why pride is more dangerous than ignorance—and how to guard against it
How to recognize (and avoid) advice that’s rooted in ego, not wisdom

Take Action:

Ask yourself: Are you listening to wise counsel—or just loud voices?
Identify any areas where you’re tempted to fall back into old, unhealthy patterns
Watch your motives—and those of the people speaking into your financial life

Pray:
“Lord, keep me wise, humble, and quiet when needed. Help me stay on Your path—no matter who mocks the walk.”
