In this Better Together conversation, D Johns, Joe T, Reggie G, and Jey Blac unpack what it means to “put away foolish things,” framing it as an ongoing, seasonal process tied to maturity, self-awareness, and obedience to God. They discuss how distractions, instant gratification, pride, learned behaviors, and unexamined expectations can derail relationships, work, finances, and spiritual growth—especially when people confuse what they expect with what they actually deserve. The group debates marriage, divorce, discernment, premarital counseling, and the pressure of timelines, sharing personal examples about staying too long in jobs or relationships, lacking wise counsel, and mistaking grace for wisdom. They close by challenging listeners to identify their current “foolish thing,” release what’s harming them “at what cost,” and stop celebrating being “the coolest fool in the room.” Follow the channel, watch the long-form episode on YouTube, and leave a review.
