Episode 3 - Why Smart People Still Make Foolish Decisions

March 16, 2026

Why do intelligent people sometimes make the most destructive decisions in life?


In this episode of Walking the Way with Dr. Carlos Quijada, Dr. Carlos Quijada explores the crucial difference between intelligence and wisdom. While our world often celebrates knowledge, education, and intellectual ability, Scripture reminds us that true wisdom is something deeper.


Drawing from biblical insight and practical reflection, this conversation examines why brilliance alone does not guarantee good judgment—and why wisdom requires humility, discernment, and a foundation rooted in truth.


Using examples from the wisdom literature of the Bible, including the reflections found in the Book of Proverbs and the life of King Solomon, this episode invites listeners to consider an important question:


Are we simply accumulating knowledge… or are we learning to walk in wisdom?


If you’ve ever wondered why smart people can still make foolish choices—or how to cultivate deeper wisdom in your own life—this episode will challenge and encourage you.


Join us as we continue walking the way toward truth, discernment, and a life shaped by wisdom.
