Good fight. That's the name of our summer real man Bible study. We'll be going

verse by verse through first Timothy. You and me up here in the mountains, real

informal, casual, 12 weeks looking at an older man named Paul building up

and investing in a younger man named Timothy, teaching him how to be a man of

God and fight a good fight. And I'll tell you in a day when the world is lost

its mind and everything's going to hell. A few men need to learn how to fight.

I'll see you guys online this summer as we study first Timothy the good fight.

All right guys welcome back to the real man podcast. This series is a good fight.

We're just kind of going through a book of the New Testament first Timothy Paul

kind of like spiritual father writing to Timothy kind of like a spiritual son

and giving him a little advice. Here's what to do what not to do to grow as a man

of God and to fight for the things that matter. And today is week number eight.

Ignore idiots and and if you've been a Christian for more than 15 minutes you know

an idiot. The question is what do you do with an idiot? And it's not an idiot

isn't saved and you don't love them and it's just that they're an idiot. Meaning

what they're doing and what they're devoted to and what their time and energy is

committed to is just stupid. It's not evil. It's just dumb. And this is in first

Timothy 4 6 through 16. I'll give you guys kind of backstory. I didn't

grow up like some of you. Some of you grew up in evangelical subculture. You grew up

in that sort of you know Christian bubble of veggie tails and Christian music and

VBS and Christian camp and you know rapture movies and you know fights over

Halloween and just the typical evangelical stuff. Maybe you're even homeschooled
