The Power Of Being An Always Learner

Show notes

About This Episode Today we talk about the benefits of being an always learner and how to become someone who loves to learn. Aaron and Jennifer Smith explain why a stagnant mind is like stagnant water and how continual learning keeps you sharp and shapes your character. They share what they've been learning themselves, including guitar, cooking, parenting, homeschooling, and jiu-jitsu, and help you discover whether you're an auditory, kinesthetic, or visual learner. Drawing on quotes from Einstein, Da Vinci, and Abigail Adams, the Proverbs' call to seek wisdom, and Jesus' invitation to "learn from me" in Matthew 11:28-29, they encourage couples to keep learning, to study each other, and to be always learners of God's word.

Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.
