Jesus & A Teachable Spirit

Guests: AJ Swoboda May 29th, 2025

0:00

In this episode, Phil & Emily Manginelli are joined by guest AJ Swoboda to explore the tension between humility and influence in a culture that often sees teachability as weakness. AJ reflects on the shame attached to being humble, Phil challenges the impulse to always be the teacher, and Emily shares the spiritual discipline of surrendering our perspective. Together, they unpack how wisdom isn’t found in knowledge alone but in the humility to be shaped—by God, by others, and even through restraint.
