297: Wisdom Through Exposure

41 minutes

Today I want to talk about Wisdom. Wisdom seems to come from exposing ourselves in a vulnerable way to others especially those who are diverse and unique from us. It is when we look for truth outside of our bubbles that we begin to open ourselves up to real wisdom. That when we live in small groups or live isolated lives that we are defensive of differences rather than looking for truth. We talk today about how much wisdom there is in Mormonism and if there is little where else do we look for it.
