Learning

Tonight my Tuesday class starts back up. I teach church doctrine and pastoral ministry stuff to future pastors/missionaries/world changers at the Berean Study Center in Clarksville. It's a very humbling gig since I don't have years and years of experience to bring to the table. My heart is to pour out what I do have into the students and set them up for success.

I heard somewhere that a true illiterate is someone who doesn't have the ability to learn-unlearn-and relearn. One of the joys of teaching these Tuesday classes is that it keeps me in a constant cycle of learning. I'm learning more and more to learn in new ways, learn new things, and challenge my own assumptions of what education is and isn't/

I also saturate my life with learning experiences. In the Army they taught us that EVERYTHING is training for something. I like that. Every opportunity is a an opportunity to get an education. Higher education is great and sometimes necessary, but don't ever limit education to a piece of paper or a class room.
