    In the first part of the video, JP shows how to get someone (who does not know the books of the Bible) to find a Bible passage, using a cell phone Bible app. I have used Bible reference cards within a Bible and Bible page numbers written in my lesson books. But this process is simpler and easier to use. As well as more versatile. For better detail and reflection. Watch the video. It is meaty and worth mentally digesting. JP does a demo class on how he teaches non-Christians. We are role-played the "non-Christians."
    Outline: of teaching format A. JP asks before the study, for the person to prepare for the class by reading an assigned passage 5 times. He says the Word of God is powerful, active, and alive. Hebrews 4:12 The more they let a passage penetrate their hearts the better. Receiving God's message and rereading it is powerful. The student is investing in the process, physically, emotionally, and mentally. When people put something of themselves into a study, it gives them, he says a "feeling of ownership" that they are part of something. When people invest, they feel more connected to the process. When people invest, they feel more connected to the process. This is why using people in Bible class is also important. You will see in the video that his teaching format is very interpersonal and interactive.
    B. Preparation work: Beforehand, JP picks a passage, and reads and rereads that passage. He gets to know that passage. He has ideas he wants to share in the beginning, middle, and end of the selected passage. He's gone over the passage enough and reviews the context of the beginning, middle, and end, enough to know it by route. The good part about this type of teaching, is the more you do it, the easier it gets in using a selected passage. Or in doing this teaching format, period.
    C. This may seem hard, but I encourage you to try it out. Practice making a "lesson" using this format. And then practice on someone you know, a wife, family member, or close friend. You'll get into the groove of this, faster than you might think. To get dialogue its good to read things in the Bible, and ask them questions, like what you JP doing. :) Questions are a great way to teach others and get interactions.
    D. The teaching format in the video is easy to use. You have a student read a small section of the passage, a few verses, and you ask them questions about what they read. Then you have another student or the same student, depending on the size of the class, to read the following few verses and you repeat the process, you ask them what they read. You keep doing this till you reach the end of the passage you have selected to use for teaching. By asking them questions about what they are reading, you're doing what Jesus did to teach. Our Lord asked questions to get people to think to help lead them to an answer. You'll see this teaching style more within the video.
    When people are not TOLD the answer but read the Bible and are asked Bible questions to get them thinking and to get them guided by that question to a Bible answer, they feel "an ownership" to that answer. Because it came from them. JP says. When it comes to Bible study, let the Bible teach them. This process is more automated. You're simply letting the student, read the Bible and you're getting them to respond to what they're reading with Bible questions.
    Read the gospels, and reflect on how often Jesus asked questions or told a story in response to a question. Most of the time, this was our Lord's format for teaching. When you don't answer a question, but instead....you have them find the answer, you're helping them teach themselves and invest in the material, (the Word of God). Asking questions makes the students feel involved, valued, and a part of something. Inclusion creates such feelings. Lecturing does not. We want people to invest in the process. Talking at a person through lecturing is not as effective as talking to them by having a discussion. Questions help with creating a personal communicative dialogue. Questions, done with love, are personal, connective, relationship-building. In teaching any format, questions should be used to get the student to think and interact with the teacher/material. We'll get into that more in future "teaching others to teach" classes. As well as share other types of teaching formats. A special thank you to Jeanne Sullivan for recording this.
