"If we're not willing to be taught, we're not going to grow."
In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill explore the concept of being open to learning from others, a crucial element in personal and spiritual growth. They discuss how engaging with a community can sand off your rough edges and strengthen you through shared experiences. The episode highlights the importance of humility and courage in leadership, challenging the traditional top-down hierarchy by suggesting that true leaders are those who remain teachable.
Wes and Austin dive into how willingness to learn is intertwined with spiritual transformation, drawing connections between this openness and Christian discipleship. They reference Romans 12:2, emphasising the renewal of the mind through being open to new teachings and perspectives. This episode suggests that spiritual growth isn't just an intellectual pursuit; it's a relational and experiential journey. Listeners are invited to reflect on who they are learning from and who they are teaching.
The hosts encourage you to embrace the give-and-take nature of learning, underscoring that generosity in sharing knowledge often brings joy. By examining the mundane aspects of life, like sharing meals or resting, they reveal how these simple acts contribute to spiritual formation. The episode wraps up with a call to action: consider who you are learning from and who you are helping grow. Are there barriers of pride or past wounds preventing you from embracing this journey?
Wes and Austin remind us that without a willingness to learn, growth is stunted. Tune in to uncover how embracing humility and community can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life.
