Bible Teacher’s Training

I just came back from Sierra House after spending 2 days up there with a group of fellow interns being trained on how to give bible studies from Pastor Ed of Gracepoint Fellowship Church. During that time we also worked on a spiral staircase, played some hoops/volleyball, kayaked and ate very healthy food cooked by his wife Kelly.

The sign ups for this training filled up pretty quickly so I was lucky to make it. The training involved practicing giving mini messages based from various texts from the bible with Pastor Ed providing feedback on anything from presentation to accuracy of interpreting the text. It was a really special and indelible moment when we all sat around the table with Pastor Ed. We were certainly no Charles Spurgeon or Billy Graham but I’m very thankful that both Pastor Ed and Kelly took the time to teach, train, and feed us. God willing, if the tables and chairs had souls, I’m sure at least one would have made a Lordship decision given the number of BTTs that happened at Sierra House! Boy, never would I thought in my wildest dream that I would ever be teaching the bible. But here I was…

I hope I know what I’m doing!

Our spiral staircase looks something like this...
