About this episode
Greg and Nathan discuss the importance of lifelong learning in the Christian faith, emphasizing that following Christ involves continuous growth and intellectual humility.
In the premiere of their new series Life Long Learners, Greg and Nathan explore a foundational truth of the Christian life: Jesus didn’t call graduates, He called disciples. Following Christ is not merely about conversion; it’s about lifelong formation. In this episode, they unpack the biblical vision behind the Great Commission’s call to teach believers to observe all Christ commanded, and what it means to love God with all our minds. Greg and Nathan challenge the cultural myth that education ends with a diploma and examine why intellectual humility—not pride—is essential to spiritual growth. They also discuss how curiosity, teachability, and disciplined learning protect our faith from shallowness and prepare us to engage the world with conviction and clarity. If Christianity is a lifelong journey of transformation, then learning is not optional—it’s essential. Closing Challenge: Choose one book, one topic, and one discipline to pursue this month—and commit to becoming a disciple, not just a graduate.
