Summary

The best teachers are storytellers. Students need stories; it's how they best connect with the things they're learning. It's part of the reason why Jesus often chose to teach through stories. As a result, teachers need to see themselves as storytellers, and work to get better at seeing their task specifically through the lens of telling stories. Host Noah Brink discusses the importance of storytelling through focussing on its ability to connect with that which is uniquely human in our students. #storytelling #christianeducation #christianteacher #christianworldview #biblicalteaching #biblicalworldview #podcast #noahbrink #christianpodcast #christianpodcaster #christianschool

We live in a world where truth and belief are often confused, for instance, some suggest strongly that we are to value the beliefs of others. While I would admit that we ought to listen to others to understand their given belief and do this with respect for those whose beliefs may differ from our own.
