This is the second episode in the spiritual maturity series and tackles the first idea, knowing the right things. I believe God expects us to keep growing in knowledge. I also make the case our digital tools such as a smartphone can help us to do that. I end by asking five questions you can ask others to "learn something" more about. They are:

  1. Who is God to you and what is your relationship to him?
  2. What do you think is good?
  3. What do you know for sure?
  4. What one habit has made the most meaningful impact on your life?
  5. What was your best mistake and what did it teach you?

When I was recording this episode, it was difficult not to go into content for the other seven parts, specifically having the right attitude and surrounding yourself with the right people. But as I said in the beginning, these are related but different concepts. I just didn't appreciate how closely related they are.

I reference several books in this episode including:

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey

Twelve Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson
