Beskrivning
Being a know-it-all isn't a fruit of the Spirit. But the ancient call of Jesus beckons us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength" (Matt. 22:37). How do we love God with our mind? In A Teachable Spirit, A.J. Swoboda helps followers of Jesus develop the discipline of teachability.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.

Recensioner i media

A Teachable Spirit is a profound and timely invitation to rediscover humility in a world saturated with arrogance and noise. A.J. Swoboda's insights are both challenging and liberating, reminding us that authentic discipleship begins with a heart willing to learn from anyone, anywhere. I was personally irritated, convicted, poked, prodded, and pressed into greater curiosity--and shy; a sure sign of a deep and rich book. I know it'll be helpful to you too.
