What comes after deconstruction? In this episode, we talk with AJ Swoboda—pastor, professor, and author of After Doubt and A Teachable Spirit—about why doubt has become so common, why it shouldn't be the end of the story, and how real spiritual formation takes shape in our lives.  We explore:  The limits of “just me and my Bible” Christianity  A fresh take on sola Scriptura from a Protestant perspective  Why we all carry traditions—whether we admit it or not  The value of humility and a teachable spirit  Why formation is slower—but deeper—than deconstruction  With humor, honesty, and pastoral wisdom, AJ offers a compelling vision for rebuilding faith that can last.  AJ Swoboda is a pastor, theologian, and author who teaches Bible, theology, and Christian formation at Bushnell University. He is also co-host with Nijay Gupta of the Slow Theology podcast. Find out more about AJ's books, writing, and socials at https://ajswoboda.com/. Check out his latest, A Teachable Spirit, at https://a.co/d/3lBZxE4.    

A.J. Swoboda is a pastor, teacher, theologian, and author of such books as The Gift of Thorns, Subversive Sabbath, Slow Theology, After Doubt … to name a few. He serves on the faculties of George Fox University and Fuller Seminary where he teaches biblical studies, theology, and church history. He pastors Theophilus church in Portland, Oregon and leads a great podcast together with Nijay Gupta called Slow Theology. His most recent book, A Teachable Spirit, caught my attention because of its title. Few of us have that spirit, and more of us need it. Maybe I should speak only for myself. Let's talk about what it means to be spiritually and intellectually flexible enough to learn from peers, children, the culture … even our enemies. 

How do we really love God with our minds? For Christians the emphasis is often on loving the Lord with our heart, soul and strength, but when it comes to our minds, there can be some reticence. There can be a real pressure in the church to act as if we know it all, or a fear that theology and learning might lead us to not know what we believe. The call to love God with our minds has never been more important. On this episode of Theodisc, Kenny is joined by AJ Swoboda, who thinks that learning is deeply embedded in the Christian tradition. He contends that our faith gives us tools and examples of how we can learn to be the best learners – and not just for the sake of knowledge, but in order to be Christ's faithful witnesses in our world. We hope you learn as much as we have from this episode!

Imagine: You're watching the news. A young woman in a courtroom, tears streaming down her face, publicly repents for breaking the law. True tears. Real remorse. A genuine desire to learn and grow from her mistakes. Your heart is moved by this rare public display of humility.Then you check social media.Maybe you shouldn't have.Instead of collective appreciation, you find a digital feeding frenzy—everyone trashing this woman, using her vulnerability as an opportunity to shame her. And it hits you: This is why nobody wants to be humble anymore.This is the story A.J. Swoboda shared with me to open our conversation. A.J. is a theologian, pastor, and author of the brilliant new book A Teachable Spirit (you should definitely read it—I loved it). A.J. brings wisdom to our cultural moment where humility has become a liability. In our conversation, we explore how to cultivate teachability when vulnerability gets weaponized, why learning from people we disagree with feels so threatening, and why the early Christians were so radical precisely because they were learners.One of my favourite new insights: A.J. unpacks how “humble” comes from the Latin humus, meaning dirt … “Humans are dirtbags that just breathe in the breath of God. That's all we are.” There's something humourous and liberating about remembering what we actually are.A.J. makes a compelling case that humility is actually strength, and that we practice teachability before we feel it—just like generosity or love. If you're tired of a cultural moment where admitting ignorance feels dangerous and changing your mind feels like betrayal, this conversation offers a different way forward. It's an invitation into what A.J. calls “the quiet strength of humility.”You can learn more about A.J. at his website. I also highly recommend subscribing to his Substack, The Low-Level Theologian, and checking out Slow Theology, the podcast he cohosts with Nijay Gupta.

A.J. Swoboda is back on the podcast for the third time. This time we are sitting down to talk about A Teachable Spirit. He hit on something that I think is sorely missing in this world today: being teachable. In a world often drawn sharply into polarized camps, where dialogue seems overshadowed by ideological extremes, cultivating a teachable spirit becomes more than a virtue, it becomes an act of quiet revolution. But what exactly does it mean to approach life, faith, and community with genuine humility and openness, even when our convictions run deep? Our conversation explores what it truly means to possess a teachable spirit, how to stand firmly in our beliefs while also actively listening to, honoring, and learning from those who are different than us. We'll explore themes of humility, empathy, wisdom, discernment and the careful balancing act of maintaining convictions while remaining open to growth and change. This is an important conversation, so join us as we unpack the practice of discerning truth in a fragmented world, and how holding our beliefs can transform both our inner and outer worlds and enable us to have a teachable spirit. Rev. A. J. Swoboda (Ph.D., Birmingham) is the associate professor of Bible and Theology at Bushnell University. He served as a college pastor on the University of Oregon campus for nearly ten years. For another decade, he planted and pastored an urban church in Portland, Oregon, called Theophilus, which continues to worship today. He leads a Doctor of Ministry program around Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Friends University. He has taught at the London School of Theology, LIFE Pacific, Southeastern University, and Multnomah University. He is the author of over ten books, including Redeeming How We Talk (Moody), After Doubt (Brazos), and the award-winning Subversive Sabbath (Brazos). He hosts the Slow Theology podcast (w. Dr. Nijay Gupta) and writes the widely read Low-Level Theologian Substack.

Today, Mike and Tim are joined by A.J. Swoboda to discuss his journey in theology, the concept of 'Slow Theology', and the challenges of being teachable in a culture that often shames humility. He explores the tension between emotivism and the life of the mind, emphasizing the importance of learning from diverse perspectives, including those we may disagree with. Swoboda advocates for creating space for differences and encourages Christians to embrace a posture of learning and humility in their faith journey. Further, Mike and A.J. explore the complexities of engaging with culture as Christians, emphasizing the importance of understanding and contextualizing the gospel. They discuss the challenges of navigating truth in a hostile environment, the necessity of self-critique within the faith community, and the vulnerability that comes with learning. A.J. shares a personal story about a moment of realization regarding his lack of knowledge, using it as a metaphor for deeper issues of shame and growth in faith.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction 11:30 A.J.

The discussion delves into the themes of humility and teachability that run through Swoboda's work. The episode explores Swoboda's background as an associate professor of Bible and Theology and discusses the meaningfulness of his podcast, 'Slow Theology.' A significant portion of the conversation is devoted to understanding the discipline of teachability, how it shapes our learning process, and why it is critical to engage with differing perspectives, including those of our enemies. This discussion emphasizes the importance of humility and learning from others for personal and spiritual growth.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://tommythompson.org

He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. 25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit,[a] he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John. 26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. 27 And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed, 28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that the Christ was Jesus.

A simple daily carpool can turn into a profound spiritual journey when it's used for devotion driven discipleship. Join me (Tosha Williams) as I revisit the origins of my own family's carpool Scripture memorization tradition. This transformed our daily commute into a time of connection and spiritual growth, and it also became the foundation upon which I started the Family Disciple Me ministry. About ten years later, as my youngest daughter is a senior in high school, we are revisiting this tradition one more school year, starting with the character trait of being TEACHABLE. Listen in on this podcast, then join us in the tradition by using the following conversation guide with someone God has entrusted to you!*************************************************CHARACTER CONVERSATIONS:  Teachable“My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, 2 for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.” Proverbs 3:1-2 ESVSEEK HIM: Devotion is Meeting with God in Our Own Lives! A teachable spirit benefits us, not only in our childhood or teenage years, but our whole lives long. As we spend time with the Lord and “Seek Him” through this Scripture, let's lask Him these questions and listen to what He wants to speak to us about the character trait of being teachable. WHAT:  What is God saying through this Scripture?  ~ What teaching and commandments are being referred to in this Scripture? Who is the “son” in this verse, and can you apply this to your life if you're not a son? What are some ways that you can keep from forgetting what you've learned? WHY:  Why does this Scripture matter? ~ What kind of life do you want to live? Do you want to experience the bare minimum of life, or would you like more goodness added to your life? Do you have peace in your life; why or why not?HOW: How does God want us to respond to this truth? ~ In what ways are you a teachable person? Are there any areas of your life where God is challenging you to be more teachable? How are you learning to “do good” right now?SPEAK HIM: Discipleship is Making God Known to Others! As we seek to have teachable spirits at every stage of our lives, we model to others what it looks like to be teachable. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 says, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Discipleship about being teachable means keeping God's commands in our own hearts and then impressing them on the next generation. Ask God to help you in this!______________________The Family Disciple Me Podcast is a ministry of Family Disciple Me, which exists to catalyze Devotion Driven Discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Welcome to Day 2293 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 22:15-21 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2293 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2293 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, I will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. It's a pleasure to have you join me on this journey. Today, our exploration takes us into the profound insights of Proverbs 22:15-21 from the New Living Translation. Pause... As we delve into these verses, let's seek the timeless wisdom that can guide us in understanding the impact of foolishness in a child's heart, the importance of cultivating a teachable spirit, and the significance of anchoring our trust in the Lord. Without further delay, let's trek the trails as we dive into the wisdom of Proverbs. Verse 15: “A youngster's heart is filled with foolishness, but physical discipline will drive it far away.” This verse highlights the presence of foolishness in a youngster's heart and the role of physical discipline in redirecting it. How can we navigate the delicate balance between discipline and love in guiding the hearts of the young? We need to Navigate Discipline with Love as we Recognize the presence of foolishness in a youngster's heart and the role of physical discipline in redirecting it. However, navigate discipline with love, ensuring your guidance is rooted in a desire for the child's well-being. Choose to discipline to steer the child away from foolishness, always maintaining a foundation of love. Pause… Now, let's explore verse 16. “A person who gets ahead by oppressing the poor or by showering gifts on the rich will end in poverty.” This verse underscores the consequences of advancing through the oppression of the poor or excessive favoritism toward the rich. How can we cultivate fairness and equity in our interactions with others? Cultivating fairness and equity requires us to recognize the consequences of advancing through the oppression of the poor or excessive favoritism toward the rich. Cultivate a commitment to fairness and equity in your interactions, treating all individuals with dignity and respect. Choose to align your actions with principles that uplift and honor the inherent worth of every person. Pause… Verse 17 continues with reflecting on the importance of listening and applying wisdom. “Listen to the words of the wise; apply your heart to my instruction.” This verse emphasizes the value of listening to the words of the wise and applying one's heart to instruction. How can we foster a teachable spirit and be intentional about learning from the wisdom of others? Fostering a Teachable Spirit is learned by recognizing the value of listening to the words of the wise and applying your heart to instruction. Foster a teachable spirit by actively seeking wisdom from those with experience and insight. Choose to approach life with a humble openness to learning, understanding that applying instruction...

Proverbs 21:11It's easy to think we know it all, especially as we get older. Somewhere along the way we lose our teachable spirit. The truth is, regardless of age or education no one has the corner on wisdom. There is never a time we lose our need for the input of others.

Pablo Vicente

Many of us believe that learning stops after school, but the truth is, if we operate from a place of ignorance, we will never prosper and see the hand of God move in our lives.

Isn't it wild how we, as humans, are drawn to prioritizing a growth mindset...well, that is, until someone (a spouse, child, coworker, or friend) delivers us some unwelcome constructive criticism. Can we be teachable when it's tempting to be offendable?

An update to our previous teaching, this week is a much needed reminder to grow!

It has become sadly “normal” to attack not only the opinions of others but also the person holding the opinion. This can be true in academic circles as well. For this reason, I was stunned when scholar and theologian Richard B. Hays wrote a paper that forcefully took to task a work that he himself had written years earlier! In Reading With the Grain of Scripture, Hays demonstrated great humility of heart as he corrected his own past thinking, now fine-tuned by his lifelong commitment to learning. As the book of Proverbs was being introduced, King Solomon listed the various intents of this collection of wise sayings. But in the midst of those purposes, he inserted this challenge, “Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance” (Proverbs 1:5). Like the apostle Paul, who claimed that, even after following Christ for decades, he continued to pursue knowing Jesus (Philippians 3:10), Solomon urged the wise to listen, to learn, and to continue to grow. No one is ever hurt by maintaining a teachable spirit. As we seek to continue to grow and learn about the things of faith (and the things of life), may we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us into truth (John 16:13), that we might better comprehend the wonders of our good and great God.

The mark of a mature person is being able to receive correction. When you stay humble and willing to learn, God will take care of promoting you.  Your best days are still ahead, and together we can make a difference in this world with the message of God's hope and love.
