Thursday Evenings at All Hallows (Thursday, October 19, 2023) Is Now Online

 

Welcome to Thursday Evenings at All Hallows.

In an experiment reported In the University of Chicago News researchers found that people learn just as much from other people’s failures as they do from other people’s successes. In a second experiment researchers found that we ourselves do not lean from our own mistakes. Subsequent experiments tied this failure of the experiment’s participants to learn from their mistakes to a loss of self-esteem. Feeling bad about failing kept the participants from benefiting from knowing what they did wrong. This may explain at least in part why accounts of both the failures and successes of various figures, particularly in their relationship with God, were included in the Bible. It may also help to explain why people who do not feel good about their relationship with God persist in doing the wrong thing while those feel good about that relationship are less likely to repeat the same mistake.

Reading: Matthew 23: 13-36

Message: What We Can Learn from the Failings of Others
