Spend Time With the Wise (Proverbs 13)
Proverbs 13 says, “To grow wisdom you have to hang out with wise, godly people. But the friends of fools will suffer. We parents we get this. We want our children to hang out with good friends because we know their influence will rub off on our kids. So why do so many of us parents hang out with foolish people or take advice from and follow those who don’t claim Christ as Lord? Why don’t we pursue being wise? Why not let today be the day you start.

Episode Transcript
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: To grow wisdom you have to hang out with wise, godly people. So says Proverbs 13. It goes on to say, “but the friends of fools will suffer.” We parents we get this. I mean, we want our children to hang out with good friends because we know their influence will rub off on our kids.
So why do so many of us parents hang out with foolish people or take advice from and follow those who don’t claim Christ as Lord? And why do you go to church, but refuse to hang out with wise people in Bible class or small group or a family seminar? Why don’t we pursue being wise? Why not let today be the day you start. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
