Reading books is a great habit, but focusing on only one
type of book can limit our perspective. Over the past few years, I’ve noticed
that most of the books I read are Christian books. While they are
meaningful and help me grow spiritually, I realize I might be missing out on
learning from other areas of life. It's like eating only one type of food every
day—it may be good, but it’s not enough for a balanced diet.
To balance this, I try to explore other topics through different formats. I don’t read many books on science, psychology, or history, but I enjoy listening to podcasts and watching YouTube videos on these subjects. Occasionally, I watch documentaries as well. These platforms help me learn new things and gain broader perspectives, even if I’m not reading them in book form. Listening to experts explain how the brain works or learning about world history gives me a deeper understanding of life. It also helps me relate better to people who think differently. As Christ followers, I believe it's important to understand the world around us. It helps us become wiser, more thoughtful, and well-informed.
While Christian books will always be my main source of reading due to my vocation, I try to be intentional about learning from other genres too. Whether it’s a podcast on mental health, a video about space, or a documentary on ancient civilizations, these small efforts help fill in the gaps and support my growth as a well-rounded person 💯
THINK BIG. START SMALL. GO DEEP.
