The conference theme is 鈥淧reaching and Teaching Difficult Biblical Texts鈥� based on our speaker鈥檚 two books, Preaching Difficult Texts of the Old Testament and Preaching and Teaching Difficult Texts of the New Testament. We affirm that all of Scripture is breathed out by God and therefore profitable. But how that鈥檚 true of certain portions isn鈥檛 always apparent. Anyone desiring to learn how to more effectively and accurately teach portions of the Bible that are challenging for a variety of reasons is invited to join us. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Participants will also receive a copy of the book Preaching and Teaching Difficult Texts of the New Testament.聽

If you鈥檙e an educator, you keep hearing our system is broken鈥攕omething is not working. It鈥檚 a grab bag of complaints: culture wars, falling test scores, technology addictions, and behavior problems. As Christian educators, we understand the reality of living in a fallen world鈥攂rokenness doesn鈥檛 surprise us. We鈥檙e still called to steward our time with the students in our care; oftentimes, we鈥檙e asked to do so with few resources. How, then, can we focus on 鈥渞edeeming the time鈥� (Eph. 5:16, KJV) in our classrooms, offering our students the head and heart skills they鈥檒l need to flourish in this digital age? For this year鈥檚 Empowering Educators conference at 天涯海角社区, we鈥檇 like to spend more time doing instead of theorizing. We鈥檒l have the opportunity to try the methods practicing educators are using to mitigate some of the problems we鈥檙e facing. Our focus will be on active learning strategies we can use across the curriculum.
