We get so many questions regarding how we have studied or who we have studied, so this week we wanted to answer that question and explain why it is so important for Christians not to have a worldly view of knowledge, wisdom, and education. Indeed it would be sin for us to sound more like the world than Scripture, to value persuasion in our rhetoric over the authority of Scripture, and to lack discipline in searching the Scriptures. We also talk about the questions we ask ourselves whenever we consume material, whether that be in books, podcasts, or social media.
