  2. Transformation is Radical Change

  3. Discipleship is more than getting to know what the teacher knows; it's getting to be what s/he is.   WTB - Wilkinson

  4. Challenge: If we invite people to “Come Learn with Us!” We need to make Bible study a transformational experience by teaching them the way they learn.

  5. Learning Is... Learning is Experiencing through discovery Teaching is Coaching the Experience A Teacher is a Coach of Experiences Therefore A teacher’s task is to set up experiences so that the learner can discover for himself Bible truths that are transformational.

  9. Learners retain information better as direct involvement increases.

  10. The Power of Visuals When direct involvement of the learners is coupled with supportive visuals in the learning environment, retention increases from 3 days to 14 days!

  19. We must shift from the traditional role of ‘knowledge dispenser’ to that of model, mentor, and organizer of experiences that help people grow. Lynn Stoddard, Redesigning Education.

  20. What are people looking for? Community …a safe place to belong Responsibility …hands-on ministry Connections …cross generational Depth …engaging Bible Study

  21. Definition: Depth is less about covering the content and more about engaging the content.

  22. Teaching with Depth Adults indicated that only 14 percent of a possible study time should be dedicated to teacher explanation or lecture as opposed to 40 percent for discussion and hands on learning.

  23. How did Jesus do it? Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. “Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?” Jesus answered, “What’s written in God’s Law? How do you interpret it?”

  24. How did Jesus do it? He said, “That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence – and that you love your neighbor as you do yourself”

  25. How did Jesus do it? “Good answer!” said Jesus. “Do it and you’ll live.” Looking for a loophole, he asked, “And just how would you define ‘neighbor’?” Jesus answered by telling a story…. (The Good Samaritan Parable)

  26. How did Jesus do it? “What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by robbers?” “The one who treated him kindly,” the religion scholar responded. Jesus said, “Go and do the same.”

  27. How did Jesus do it? Questions: With what did Jesus begin? Did Jesus “TELL” the scholar anything? Answers: …Jesus begins with the Word …Jesus let him discover the truth for himself …Then He said “go do it!” Knowledge is nothing without appropriation

  28. Transformational Philosophy of Bible Teaching

  29. When you begin to prepare a Bible study, what questions do you ask yourself? Philosophy helps you ask the right questions: How can learners …experience the biblical story? …discover for themselves the biblical truth? …get involved?
