I’ve been thinking about the Study Series again and I wanted to find a way to use this lesson plan to create the studies. It looks scary to me sometimes, but I think it would be good to have a comprehensive study tool to take advantage of a person’s learning style.
The drawback is that an individual would think that they could never lead a study with someone else. It might be too much information. Then again, I just want to make it available, not mandate that it all has to be used.
Now this would require a huge group effort to pull off, but I have no problem creating space to post the results here. Anyone up for it?

The idea behind the outline is to address the needs of different types of learners. It comes from my background as a systems trainer and school teacher. There are different things that ‘click’ with people when processing information.
For example, some people understand reasoning through others understand pictures. I envision something like:
If your friend seems to enjoy pictures and art, use the following visual image to explain the love of God.
Try to reason through the scriptures, if your friend doesn’t seem to understand you, don’t get frustrated, try acting out the following scene:…
I want to create a REAL teaching tool that has learning theory and good teaching practice behind it.

I’m a bit intrigued by this, but not sure if I have the interst in a study series to be much help. I just haven’t given the study series a lot of thought on my own.
I’m also not completely sure how that outline fits in. Tell me more.
That does sound cool, but now that I understand it more I think I’m even less qualified to help. Not only is this not one of my passions, I’m not an educator.
I think that is a great idea John, but consider teaching people the skill rather than the material. Being a teacher myself, I would value a “Train the Trainer” on teaching the Bible. Teach us how to make the Bible come alive through the ways we learn, as you were saying. Not as formal as a Bible study, but more informative of how to teach - make sense?
You know, I would like to have some of both, but you may be right with how to focus the effort. This makes good sense.
Good to hear from you!
