It’s week two of [Formed.] and if you missed last week with Lee Cummings, listen as soon as you’re finished with today’s episode. This week, we have a double-header, and today, my new friend Ian Simkins is here to talk about developing critical thinking skills, why echo chambers are killing us, why knowledge without wisdom leads to arrogance and the importance of embracing mystery in pain. Ian is a writer and the Lead Pastor of Teaching and Vision at a beautiful church called The Bridge just outside of Nashville, TN. Of note, Ian is an excellent follow on Instagram. He writes regularly about spiritual formation, emotional health, and personal growth. Follow him @iansimkins.
