What if the feedback you most want to reject contains something you actually need to hear? In this episode of Obscured Glory, Erik Milligan explores the principle of gaining wisdom from correction and why remaining teachable may be one of the most important habits for growth in leadership, business, relationships, faith, and life.
Drawing from Proverbs 9:9, Erik challenges the common assumption that wisdom means reaching a point where nobody can tell you anything anymore.
Instead, wisdom includes the ability to receive instruction, examine feedback, recognize blind spots, and learn without allowing defensiveness to take control.
In this episode, Erik explores:
The goal is not to agree with every criticism.
The goal is to become secure enough to ask:
What exactly are they saying?
What part of this might be true?
And what does wisdom require me to do with it?
Because sometimes the breakthrough you are praying for begins when you become willing to hear what you previously resisted.
