A Teachable Spirit
On this episode of Chris Fabry Live, we are talking about learning from unexpected people and situations. Our guest is professor, author, and pastor, Dr. A.J. Swoboda who will encourages us to cultivate a teachable spirit. We live in a distracted, mind-numbed, polarized world with people full of contempt for others. How do Christians develop the discipline of teachability—even from our enemies? Don’t miss Chris Fabry Live.
