A Teachable Spirit

$45⁰⁰

Becoming a teachable person is a lost art in our cultural moment that the Christian has resources to cultivate. The main idea of the book is the power and importance of cultivating this virtue as part of the path of following Jesus.

Description

In a world marked by distraction, mind-numbing entertainment, endless content, polarization, and a decreasing desire to humbly learn from those we dislike, the way we engage sources of information like news media, science, and social media content could not be more important. Thankfully, the Christian faith provides sharp tools and rich traditions for learning how to be the best learners. By drawing on his experiences as a professor, theologian, and lay pastor, Swoboda explores the potency of seeing learning as a part of one's spiritual formation to Jesus.

With the right posture, Christians can learn from even the most unexpected places.
