The Teachable Podcast

In Episode 9 of The Teachable Podcast, we begin a new series on biblical humility—one of the most foundational qualities of a teachable heart.

Humility is often misunderstood. Many think it means having a low opinion of ourselves, but God's Word presents humility as something much richer: recognizing our complete dependence on Him and willingly submitting to His authority. It is through humility that we receive God's grace, grow in wisdom, and become more like Christ.

In this episode, we discuss :

00:00 - Introduction: The Beauty of Humility
00:40 - Humility in Our Relationships with Others
02:13 - Biblical Humility: Our Relationship with God
04:28 - Empty: Letting God Fill You
08:19 - Lower: Letting God Lift You Up
09:55 - Nothing: Letting God Be Everything
11:52 - Broken: Bringing Your Heart to God
14:15 - Poor: Receiving God’s Richness
15:43 - Needy: Recognizing Your Need for God
18:03 - Weak: Finding Strength in Christ
21:31 - My Salvation Story: Coming to Jesus in Humility
22:28 - Overcoming Jealousy Toward My Sister
23:26 - Learning Humility in Marriage
24:33 - Are You Humble? A Look Ahead at Pride
24:54 - Closing Encouragement

Whether you've been walking with Christ for years or are just beginning your faith journey, this episode will challenge you to pursue a deeper knowledge of God with a heart that is willing to learn, receive correction, and be transformed.

Key Scripture: James 4:6 — "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble."

"Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths." — Psalm 25:4

The local church is much more than a building or a weekly gathering—it is God's design for the growth, encouragement, and strengthening of every believer.

In this episode of the Teachable Podcast, we continue our Learning How to Learn series by answering three foundational questions about the church:

• What is the church?
• Why did God establish it?
• Why is the local church essential to the Christian life?

Together we'll discover how God uses biblical preaching, worship, fellowship, service, accountability, and discipleship to help us know Him more deeply and grow in our faith. Whether you're new to Christianity or have attended church for years, this lesson will encourage you to see the local church as one of God's greatest gifts to His people.

Prayer is far more than bringing our requests to God—it is one of the primary ways He teaches us, transforms us, and draws us into a deeper relationship with Himself.

In this episode of The Teachable Podcast, we continue our "Learning How to Learn (LH2L)" series by exploring how prayer is an essential part of the Christian learning process.

As we spend time in God's presence, we don't simply speak—we listen, grow, and become more like Christ.

In Episode 4 of the Teachable Podcast, we explore three essential habits that characterize a truly teachable person: Stillness, Seeking, and Submission.

Drawing from Scripture and practical life experience, we discuss why spiritual growth requires more than good intentions. A teachable heart learns to be still before God, actively seek truth, and willingly submit to His leading.

Welcome to Episode 003 of the Teachable Podcast.In this episode, we continue our journey into what it means to live with a teachable spirit by looking at the specific attitudes that shape how we learn and grow.

This episode focuses on our daily mindset. We examine how our underlying attitude acts as a filter for the information, correction, and wisdom we encounter every day. Together, we’ll contrast a heart that is actively open and ready to engage with a heart that has become indifferent or closed off to growth.

Whether you’re a parent, student, teacher, ministry leader, or simply someone desiring to keep your heart aligned with God’s direction, this conversation will challenge you to evaluate your own daily posture toward learning.
