Meaning, instead of planning 100% of "what will happen" we plan for 50% and lean into what God is doing in the hearts of those who happen to show up for the other "half." This requires a sharp leader with good theology who doesn't feel he/she has to "correct" but rather "direct."<BR/><BR/>Presentation example:<BR/>- Standard class: "This is the view of the end times you should hold to."<BR/>- Learning community: "This Scripture has created several schools of thought. Let's explore them."<BR/><BR/>Interactive example:<BR/>- Standard class: "And that's about all I have to say. Any questions?"<BR/>- Learning community: "Before I share what I've worked on, what are the dominant questions in your heart today about this or something else?"<BR/><BR/>I don't know why we're so afraid in churches to let people share their questions... maybe because it requires a lot more preparation to be able to be spontaneous.tonymyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11396458619687708153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15733794.post-1750907318892825112008-02-01T12:13:00.000-05:002008-02-01T12:13:00.000-05:00Congrats, Tony!

We are looking at some makeovers to our adult ed. and I'd love to hear different ideas? Do you do any mentoring/discipleship during this time?Thurman8erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04956136117525355145noreply@blogger.com
