Season 5 Episode 38 - PRESENT CONCERNS: Foolishness

Join Rick for the 4th episode of the new series PRESENT CONCERNS—we’ll explore the challenges we’re facing in this strangest of seasons, discovering how Jesus leaned into similar issues. In this episode we’ll dive into—“Foolishness.” If you do something foolish it’s sort-of like saying you did something “silly,” right? But Solomon reminds us: “A proverb in the mouth of a fool is like a thorny branch brandished by a drunk.” From a biblical/Kingdom of God perspective, foolishness is not only not-silly, it’s way more destructive and dangerous than we treat it… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!
