Intentional: Developing A Vision For The Great Commission | Episode 2
About this episode
What does it look like for an adult education program to be intentional about the mission of Jesus? In this second episode, we lay out the broad vision--modeled on Matthew 28--of a program centered on inviting others to start their journey with Christ, grow in grace and knowledge, and lead others into greater discipleship.
In this episode, we cover several key topics including:
- Why is adult education needed? (1:09)
- Common saying guaranteed to destroy and ruin a vision (7:35)
- START: focus on evangelism (11:22)
- GROW: focus on assimilation (14:47)
- LEAD: focus on discipleship (17:20)
- And lots, lots more!
Key people and references in this podcast:
- Roberta Hestenes, "The Unique Task of Teaching Adults," Christianity Today.
- Ken Hemphill, Revitalizing the Sunday Morning Dinosaur
- Josh Kingcade, Adult Education Minister at Memorial Road Church of Christ
