When a baby learns language, they don’t learn by hearing definitions or reading the dictionary. They learn through example.
Preteens are at an age where they are just starting to understand abstract concepts. Many of the concepts we want to teach them about God, the Bible, and Christian living are abstract. These concepts are not outside of preteens’ grasp – they just need a step stool to reach them.
Real-life examples can be the step stools in your teaching, helping preteens to reach concepts that otherwise might be outside their grasp.
Today on the podcast, Chris and Sean share a couple examples of examples, and discuss how this has been an effective part of their teaching of God’s Word to preteens.
