A Teachable Spirit

The Virtue of Learning from Strangers, Enemies, and Absolutely Anyone

By: A. J. Swoboda

Narrated by: Tom Parks

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.

In A Teachable Spirit, A.J. challenges the modern believer to walk the tension between skepticism and gullibility reminding us that truth is ultimately God’s, even when it shows up in unexpected places. Discernment, not dismissal or blind acceptance, is the call (1 Thess. 5:21; John 16:13).

He points to a deeper wisdom by slowing down, listening well, and staying curious with discernment by the Holy Spirit helping us learn more deeply.
