In this episode of The Thinklings Podcast, we discuss some books, delve into making “Careful Observations” when studying the Bible, and conclude with a quick thought from Colossians.

Thanks for tuning in to this week’s episode!

Careful Observations – Thinkling Stearns

Colossians 2:3 – Thinkling Carter

In this episode, we stray from our typical structure. Against every bone in Tim’s body, we will not have a Books & Business in this episode. We will pause for a moment of silence.

Thank you for your pause. So, what we do discuss in this episode is reading and why Christians should seek to read well. We discuss the virtues of reading, how reading improves our mental and imaginative faculties, and round out the episode with a few tips we have implemented to seek to read better.

We hope this episode encourages you to read. And your mission, should you accept it, is to pick some good books, read them, and talk about them with your friends! Thanks for listening to this week’s episode!

In this episode, we do our usual things: we discuss some books during Books & Business, we have some nonsense (12:45…cough…), and we continue discussing The Adventures of Telemachus.

For Books & Business, Thinking Stearns discusses How to Read Slowly by James Sire, Thinkling Little discusses The Valley of Vision, and Thinkling Carter discusses Perelandra/The Ransom Trilogy. Perelandra provides wonderful fodder for the crew before we get to the main content of the episode.

The main content focuses a second time on the idea of mentoring. The main idea we discuss is how adversity becomes a means of training and sanctification. Thinkling Little continues this idea in our final meditation on God’s Word focusing on rebuke and instruction in the book of Proverbs. Thanks for listening!

Discussion on Mentoring and Adversity

Welcome, to episode four of The Thinklings Podcast!

Have you ever wondered about where the idea of “mentoring” originated? The idea or task has existed from the beginning, but we discuss one way to answer this question in this episode!

After Books & Business, Thinkling Carter discusses The Adventures of Telemachus. This work, written in Greek-mythological style, was designed to help tutor a duke in France in the 1600s. Ideas of discipleship abound, and the Thinklings discuss them! After this main content, Thinking Stearns wraps up our episode with a final meditation from Proverbs! Thanks for tuning in, and let’s jump into the conversation!
