Deep and Durable Learning

Most learning is superficial and fades quickly. This podcast will equip you to move to learning that is durable because it is deep. Deep learning lasts because it respects the way the brain works. Inquiring minds want to know "how" and "why"—not just what!

    Read the Whole Bible Every Year?
