In this episode, after recapping the BMW Championship and previewing the Tour Championship, the guys consider the topic of wisdom from the book of Proverbs. The command is clear: Get Wisdom! Hardly anything is more relevant, more valuable, or more beneficial to our lives.

- The woman Folly is loud, she is seductive and knows nothing (Proverbs 9:13)
- The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens (Proverbs 3:19)
- We want to eat what we want to eat and not gain weight. We want to scroll on our phone for hours and not feel dull. But we live in God's world and that is not the way the world works.

- How to get wisdom: repent and believe the gospel, take God at His Word, ask Him for wisdom, and walk with the wise
- If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him (James 1:5)
- Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm (Proverbs 13:20)
