What did you learn today?

 The first dozen times I spent with Pastor Mark Driscoll he asked me the exact same question—"What did you learn today?"

This did five things:

1. It forced me to consider the massive amount of information coming in and discern what's important.
2. It set me up in the habit of reflection on how God is moving and what he's teaching me.
3. It made me understand that I have a pastor who cares not just about what I do, but who God is shaping me to be.
4. It increased my awareness of the who, what, where, why, and when around me.
5. It pushed me to take on the identity of 'learner'.
