Summary

“Love is disadvantaging yourself for others. Foolishness is disadvantaging others for yourself.” — The book of Proverbs describes two paths in life: the way of the fool and the way of the wise. In this part of our Survival Skills series, Pastor Ben Stuarts teaches us through both paths, challenging us to seek humility as our first step toward a life that flourishes. With humble hearts and desire for wise council, each of us can set our feet on the path of the wise.

is you climb up on this high dive

0:57.0

and there's a rope that leads to a cargo net.

1:00.0

And I'm like, okay, the idea is you grab this rope

1:02.0

and kind of Tarzan swing over over and then grab this cargo net.

1:04.8

So I'm getting ready to do that and the Navy SEAL that's guiding me through this was like,
