Open Invitation to Join Me in Learning

I love learning. Learning for free is better. If I earned credit from all the free online courses I have watched, listened to or read over the years I would have several undergraduate degrees. However, the purpose of learning is not about holding a piece of paper that says "degree." Rather, learning is a life long process of exercising our critical thinking skills as we grow in our understanding of the world around us. There is also an interconnection of knowledge that requires the learner to expand beyond their favorite areas of study. In order to grow one must widen their knowledge base. This does not occur in isolation, but rather through engaging with others. "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another" (Prov.27:17), highlighting the importance for the online learner to find others to wrestle with.


Open Culture and Ligonier provide free online courses. It would be a pleasure to join you in the course of your choice.
