Just want to post some stuff i have heard or thought about. Maybe good maybe complex maybe nothing for you
It may all not make sense in context but will try to get stuff that does. This is all about making disciples!!
It's not the things you don't understand that are hard but the things that you do understand but don't know how to apply them. Thought was great and these are the things that get us to think
We want to be more than a transfer of information but a transformation.
True knowledge is knowledge in action ( we have talked about this a bit)
Some ways to do things better are to take notes and knowing what do you plan to do with this lesson or sermon.
Relationships take time and it can stretch people out!
We need a clear focus and direction! A mission to follow
Without relationships there is no discipleship
Have a couple of pictures of stuff but can't do it in my phone I don't think but this is a bit of what has been said and see what you guys think

I agree it is easy to learn things but sometimes it's hard to figure out how to use them for something worth while.
what do you mean by "Stretch people out?"

People only have so much time and they can't do everything or well not everything good enough to produce the required results

So much today. Wow
I posted some in 2 Timothy as it was mentioned.
A couple quick notes:
We talked about close transparent groups. And it takes people being able to be open honest and start sharing their "stars and scars"
Really share your hearts with your friends and close people.
Ask a couple questions
1- what is Jesus speaking to you, 2) what you going to do about it
A bible reading strategy
Read it (5x) so you learn it
Think it- our story and how it relates
Pray it- pray about the passage or read it as a prayer
Live it- how does this apply
That you need to get to a point where your quite time with God doesn't feel like a burden but something that you need and that God is a friend
Did a workshop with next generational leaders
That we need a cause and purpose (if you guys have one let me/us know)
That have to be affirmed ones calling and what you are good at.
That we need to fight for our family. Family of God
Said that not just for our first name but last name and loved this and that a myself and my needs that's our first name but we need to realize that we are all part of God and a Christian family that's our last name and which is truly more important to us. My kingdom or his?

Sometimes it's hard to be real and share what are real struggls are.
This study is probably the first time I have read the Bible willingly. I don't read or post things because I feal like it's I have to or it's "homework." Don't do it to impress people or like a chore. When your not studying for a relationship with God why study.

Yes t hard to be open with people but once we are that's when the relationships can grow.
Yeah I feel you on that even for me that last couple months it's not a chore or checklist type things but something that I need to do and enjoy doing!

Couple quick ones been a long day maybe more tom.
Couple of facts to being with
80% of inmates were in the foster care
85% of beloved come to faith between 4-14
So this tells us the importance of you guys and getting people to faith!!
That we can suffer in provery( money social spiritual) and in prosperity ( we are all wealthy compared the the world)
Need to find that happy medium and connect with the poverty
(Though be nice to sponsor a kid or two)
Every child yearns for three things
Be known! Be loved! And be protected!
How can we do this in our schools?!?
We need to be risky and take risks
We need to invest in people
Did a workshop on communicating oh oh so good will hopefully see it in my lessons!
We need to encourage people and their gifts (hints the test)
God will provide for is no matter what. Just out our trust in him and see what happens
A few things

Be kind and tell people of the good news it's sad when someone lives their life without ever knowing Christ.
