Leadership Lesson Podcast: Season 3 Episode 2 - The Importance of Learning
Pastor Daniel talks with Kevin Day, Senior Pastor at Calvary Chapel in Kent, WA about why the practice of learning is so important to your life and ministry. How do you impart wisdom to people? You always need to start with the word of God. What you share with others has to be based on truth. Be a good listener first. Then take time to think about what you hear, to process it. Ask questions. How do you learn from your mistakes, from failure? How does accountability help us to learn? How does it benefit you to pour into others? What happens when you disagree with what you hear? This is a great conversation about the practical aspects of learning yourself, learning from others and passing it on.
