-
- Christianity
Nick and Tyler debunk the meaning of the word "amateur." Who knew it had to do with love? So spicy. They also outline 5 habits of mind every amateur should possess. Think of habits of mind like Aristotelian virtues; they're formed through daily practice, which will involve successes and failures. But don't be afraid to get back on the horse! We're all amateurs here on Eden Revisited, but it's the love that sustains us and the curiosity that keeps us tinkering.
