Xunzi, a Confucian scholar who lived 300 years before Jesus, once said, “What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand.” Modern science confirms that humans learn best through active participation and experience. But does this also apply to how we grow spiritually? Can true discipleship happen in an exclusively classroom-style environment, or does Jesus invite us into something far greater? If we desire a life of faith at its best, what kind of experience, according to Jesus, is the best teacher?
