If you're going to be a great Bible teacher, you need to saturate yourself in the Word of God. It takes time. You can fool yourself if you like and think if you read the notes in your study Bible that you've done all you're supposed to. But steep yourself in the text, meditate on it, pray through it, read it aloud, ask questions of it, write out your meditations. This is the path to becoming a disciple-making, Spirit-breathing, life-changing teacher.
