Great topic. This is a subject that I am sure most, if not all, classes run into. Once again you guys are providing resources that are very helpful. I have not listened to any of your other podcasts (if there are others), but I will definitely be looking for them in the future.

Great info. We have this challenge in our home Bible study group, and as a homeschooling mom, I have this challenge every day! I actually never thought about applying the same methods I use at home in our Bible study group.

Two main principles: (1) Know your students/group…what do they already know? Where are they in their spiritual walk? (2) Don’t be afraid of challenging subjects but be sure to define difficult terms and help everyone apply the subject in their context.

Sandy, thanks so much for sharing. It’s cool to see how these principles apply in several environments (i.e. homeschool, small groups, etc). Keep up the good work!

Thank you for this pod cast. I am in the beginning stages of starting a college class and knowing more about putting people on an even playing feild is where i wan to be at with such a dynamic class that can be a tempest in a teapot.

I had narrowed down my matterial to use for this class between Threads and one other. I feel that this will material will teach more.

Thanks,

Keep rockin the free world for Christ.

Moose, let me first begin by saying how envious I am of not having a name as cool as yours. Secondly, thanks for sharing and also partnering with us. Please let us know if there is any other ways we can serve you. Take care.
