J. Warner Wallace, author of Cold-Case Christianity, was interviewed by Bobby Conway (The One Minute Apologist) and discussed the important distinction between “teaching” and “training” when preparing young (and older) Christians.

If your teaching doesn't go far enough, then you aren't teaching, you're preaching (modern translation of the word).
people learn more under real life training instead of just teaching. if you have a wood working shop, you can describe all you want how to make a chair but the guys who actually make the chair and fail sometimes, learn a lot more.
most apologists stumble and fail when it comes to the holy trinity. I suggest you tell them to recite the definition: the athanasian creed. do not debate. just define. it's far easier to explain when you define first what you believe
Just had this conversation with a brother last night. Most sermons are merely informational content. Technical data. Very seldom, if ever, is there any instruction in how to achieve the goal, for instance of1 Tim. 1: 5 ( whereas the aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith.)
I am convinced that the reason for this is that very few pastors, themselves, are suffering through the things they expound upon. Most are simply managers and have no clue themselves how to “make disciples” because they have not become disciples themselves but merely managers.
AMEN!!! OUR NEXT GENERATION TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT COMING I LIKE THAT BROTHER!!
Thank you
That is getting shared to church leadership
True learning is the application of what you've been taught, as James says, as the body without the spirit is dead, so too, faith without works is dead, but also, at the end of the day, it's the holy spirit that leads the way 🙏
My agnostic friend really likes your book! But she says it's more geared to atheists. She's agnostic and prefers to be on the fence and feels like your book doesn't really address her dilemma. Can you recommend one for her?
