"Whoever pays close attention to instruction will prosper. Those who trust in the Lord will be joyful."
Proverbs 16:20

When was the last time someone corrected you?

More importantly... how did you respond?

In today's episode of Everyday Joy, Ash and Mahala unpack the powerful connection between teachability, spiritual growth, and trusting God.

Together, they explore what it means to live with an open heart toward wisdom, correction, and guidance, even when it's uncomfortable. Because while most of us love the idea of growth, very few of us enjoy being told we're wrong.

Ash and Mahala discuss how the world often teaches self-reliance, individual truth, and doing life on our own terms. Yet Scripture paints a very different picture. One where wisdom is found through humility, accountability, and a willingness to learn from God and the people He places around us.

They also reflect on the importance of having trusted people who can lovingly challenge us, ask hard questions, and help us become more like Jesus. From learning to forgive, to dealing with pride, to surrendering areas of our lives that resist correction, this conversation highlights why teachability is one of the greatest markers of spiritual maturity.

This episode is a reminder that growth rarely happens when we're comfortable.

It happens when we're willing to listen.

If you've ever struggled with correction, accountability, pride, or receiving feedback from others, this conversation will encourage you to lean into the wisdom God provides through His Word, His Spirit, and His people.

Because the people who grow the most aren't the ones who know everything.

They're the ones who never stop learning.
