Tomorrow morning I am teaching two different groups of people. The first group is about 10 people, mostly in their forties. The second group is about 30 people, all at least 70. Tomorrow night I am teaching a group of unknown number, of mixed demographic. Their one common link is that they all are leaders of adults at our church.
So why am I writing a post right now instead of studying and reading and writing? Because I needed to tell myself a few things.
1. There will be other times. Don’t pack everything into one session.
2. It’s better to have one thing understood well than a thousand things mentioned briefly. Really. (No, really. Because if it matters, then it is worth making sure they–and you–understand it inside and out.)
3. Think about the people and the ideas and how they connect. Not about what will make me sound good, or make them feel bad.
4. Since I’m talking, in part, about how to teach…teach that way. It’s called modeling. And not doing it is called either lazy or lacking integrity.
5. If you need to prove that you know something, put it in a handout. And then maybe forget to hand it out.
6. Remember that you always feel this way and you take it seriously and it always ends up okay because this is what you are built for.
7. Remember to not be complacent about number six.
8. It’s not performance. It’s relationship.
Okay. That’s all. Thanks for listening. Back to work.
Thanks for stopping by. I used to write here. But I don't anymore.
