A fundamental moment in all good learning is that moment where we modify our assumptions

about the world as a result of acquiring new and more accurate

knowledge. This in turn primes us to make better decisions. On one level, it's what

learning is all about. Sounds pretty basic, right? Well, it is. But it

isn't always easy. Church history can teach us that modifying one's

assumptions can be a challenge for some when it requires them to rethink their ideas about God, prophets, and the church.

In today's episode of Church History Matters, we're going to carefully look at this skill of humbly revising our assumptions

in light of better or more accurate information, a skill we're calling mental flexibility,

and then take a look at key moments in the lives of a few people in our church's history

that show us why this skill is so crucial for durable discipleship.
