Ep. 302: The Spiritual Discipline of Reading

Sometimes, the thought of watching an action-packed movie seems more thrilling than sitting down and reading a book. What can we gain by reading? What can literature offer us? This week we are joined by Jessica Hooten Wilson, Visiting Scholar of Liberal Arts at Pepperdine University, to discuss her book The Scandal of Holiness. In this episode, Jessica unpacks the importance of reading books, particularly those that challenge us, to help us develop a grounded and discerning spirit. She also emphasizes how reading is a necessary spiritual discipline that Christians should practice in order to better know God and grow closer to Him.
