Rhythms::Learning

Do you have a friend who never seems to let the facts get in the way of their most strongly held opinions? 

I have a confession. I am that friend. 

I've often referenced articles that I've only skimmed if they back up a point I want to make. I'll reference books that I've never finished, especially if the title supports a point I want to make. 

And honestly, it doesn't get much better when I read all of the article or book I'm using to make a point. That's because I'm usually choosing the authors and books that most affirm the belief I'm already heading towards. 

In this message we want to enter into our first pair of the Rhythms series by looking at Learning in Learning//Doing set. What's the point of learning if it just reaffirms beliefs you already hold? Does learning have any value besides conversations/debates? Are followers of Jesus called to be learners?
