Peopling - week 2 - Fools
The Bible tells us that there are different kinds of people and we need to respond to each kind of person in a different way. There is no “one size fits all” way to engage with people. There are some people who outright reject the truth and are intent on hurting us. There are some people who refuse to deal with truth and reality. Then there are the wise who listen to the truth and allow God’s wisdom to transform how they live. In this series we’ll look at each kind of person and figure out how to do “peopling” well with different types of people. The Bible and especially the book of Proverbs gives us wisdom on how to learn to people well.
