Learning

This is usually the week we abandon our resolution to read more books and just buy more books instead. But what if learning isn't about self-improvement projects or productivity hacks? Biblical wisdom celebrates the lifelong learner—not because knowledge makes us better people, but because curiosity is a spiritual discipline that keeps us growing in wisdom and wonder. Jesus himself grew in wisdom, always asking questions, always learning. The goal isn't to hack our learning but to let learning change us. There's a difference between information accumulation and transformation, between collecting knowledge and cultivating wisdom. In a world obsessed with optimization, we're invited into the slower work of wonder—learning from failure, staying teachable regardless of age, and discovering that our neighbors (especially those different from us) have wisdom we need. The beginner's mind isn't just humble; it's holy, opening us to the ongoing revelation of God in every conversation, every setback, every surprising moment of growth.
