I can coach you on your teaching skills and tactics. These things are learnable. You can improve with practice and feedback. You can develop stronger openings (hooks), better questions, more powerful illustrations, rhythm, handouts and breakout activities, life application, and between class follow-up. You can learn new approaches to studying the Word yourself, and leverage proven ways to help others study the Word better for themselves.
I believe you should be working on developing your skills and tactics. Great Bible teaching is a craft, and we are always working on our craft.
But there is no substitute for an authentic, passionate, deep relationship with Jesus Christ.
I firmly believe that we don't have enough great Bible teachers today. And so I am working with all His energy to help change this.
Our first and primary issue with the weakness of biblical teaching is because our teachers do not have the underlying connection with the Lord, a life of obedience to His Word, and a heart inflamed with the Spirit.
