What Kind of Learner are You? 

It’s my buddy while doing mindless tasks, such as sorting laundry. It’s my companion while I’m getting ready in the morning. It’s my quick download of energy and wisdom as I’m going on my morning walk . . . Basically, it’s in my ears whenever other humans aren’t present. It’s wise podcasts. 

Proverbs 4:7, NKJV “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”

The Bible is obviously the best source of wisdom but there are countless other ways to grow in wisdom . . . and the Bible certainly affirms our efforts to grow in wisdom!

I am an auditory learner so I enjoy processing information I take in with my ears. Therefore, audiobooks and podcasts are some of my favorite ways to learn and acquire wisdom. However, since launching The Savvy Sauce podcast, I’ve heard from various people who say they would love to listen more, but they prefer reading to acquire wisdom, rather than listening. Which do you prefer?

Either way, now we have something for both types of people: We are working our way through adding transcripts to every podcast ever recorded for The Savvy Sauce. Have you checked out our new website? In addition to articles like this one, we now have a show notes page for each episode and we are working to add transcripts for each one. This means you can read with your eyes all the words that were recorded or you can continue to listen with your ears . . . AND soon we will be adding a YouTube channel so that you can also watch these conversations transpire. 

To get you started, here is a list of great episodes under various categories where you can begin reading transcripts or sharing with loved ones. Just choose the category you are most interested and give the episode a try, in whatever form you prefer:
