Glad to hear you've been thinking about it too!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13816946215483031789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20315135.post-60061136697049332962008-01-15T00:43:00.000-05:002008-01-15T00:43:00.000-05:00Being more experiential, I think, is a generally g...Being more experiential, I think, is a generally good move for postmoderns as well. (Did you already post on this and I gave that same comment a year ago or something? I've having deja vu...)<BR/><BR/>What's funny is if we are actually helping people engage in mission on campus, that is theoretically the most experiential teaching tool out there. Things like taking people on spring break to <I>live</I> the Gospel in a new way while simultaneously talking with them about the Gospel. I think there are probably some significant ways we could invite people into that kind of thing more regularly, as well, making experiential learning attached to Scripture study/prayer a more foundational part of evangelism/discipleship.<BR/><BR/>I would share some brilliance about how this might look practically, but I have been been feigning brilliance on the last pesky question of the staff app tonight and the brain is done.<BR/><BR/>I am glad national is thinking about this stuff though. I am so jealous ya'll got to go lead/listen to so many cool seminars...Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147871048672359541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20315135.post-38933986285312638712008-01-14T23:40:00.000-05:002008-01-14T23:40:00.000-05:00Agreed that tactile response is engaging (to both ...Agreed that tactile response is engaging (to both men and women). I think people appreciate the chance for movement and involvement.<BR/><BR/>There's an interesting book along the lines of this post called "Why Men Hate Going to Church" by David Murrow. I haven't read it personally, but my dad did and enjoyed it. Might be worth at least checking out the first few pages on Amazon.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Liz Hundleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755414755973826848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20315135.post-30421907626021461492008-01-14T14:28:00.000-05:002008-01-14T14:28:00.000-05:00We don't engage boys in school either.

Just one more reason for us to homeschool our boys and to stay Anglican. Actually, I think the males in my house would go all out Orthodox if I let them. They love those icons!TwoSquareMealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000292109449832461noreply@blogger.com
