Person Types
Proverbs is more than merely wisdom. It’s diagnostic for our lives. These people types are more than labels. They are how we respond.
Receives correction. Seeks understanding. Grows over time.
Naïve. Easily influenced. Not yet committed to wisdom or folly.
Rejects correction. Knows but does not apply. Creates harm.
Despises wisdom. Resists correction. Corrupts others around him.
Avoids work and discipline. Makes excuses. Sees risk everywhere.

Built for Small Groups
