I’m reading Teaching to Change Lives by Howard Hendricks. It’s so full of practical advice that I thought I would share some on the blog. Here are some quotes:
- The effective teacher always teaches from the overflow of a full life.
- If you stop growing today, you stop teaching tomorrow.
- I always look for FAT people – those who are Faithful, Available, and Teachable.
- We get the largest number of committed teachers simply by getting them gradually involved in the process. Then they get hooked.
- Most adults are initially afraid to become involved because their confidence level is so low. Our task is to build them up, and with a little time and involvement, it can be done.
- If you want to become a change agent, you must also change.
- If you have an hour set apart to read, try reading the first half-hour and use the second half-hour to reflect on what you read.
- Whenever you’re around a significant person, keep your mouth shut except to ask penetrating questions.
- In all my years I’ve never found a lay person with a significant spiritual ministry who does not also have a strong personal intake of God’s Word.
- Remember that the unexamined life is not worth living.
- Experience does not necessarily make you better; in fact in tends to make you worse, unless it’s evaluated experience.
