12:45 Hour: Tools for Truth: using Principles, Purpose and Passions

 

Strap on your tool belt and grab your hard hat, we are going to discuss how tools can tweek your teaching to help your youth find truth.

Grab some tools by doing the following:

Read:  C S Lewis Article, "Meditations in a Tool Shed"  Pick a topic (preferably one you are passionate about)   Look at it from both of CS Lewis’ perspectives…Looking at it, and Looking along it.  How is looking a tool?  How can changing your perspective change your views?  I would also recommend printing the article, marking it, and bringing to class with you.

Define the following terms:   Define what they literally mean (dictionary or word study), and define what they mean to you:  (application to your own life, how you use them to teach others)

Principle

Theme

Time Period

Classic

Passion

 

Seek for further truth by choosing one of the following:

Choose a principle you would like to learn more about.   Find a fairy tale that teaches that principle.  Read the fairy tale to your children (service ;) )  Come prepared to share some themes, time periods, and personal passions  that apply to the fairy tale you chose.

OR

Choose to run, walk, swim, jump, bike, etc  (some form of physical exercise) Do the exercise J  What principles relate to that physical exercise?   What themes could you use to inspire others?  What classics are there to relate to that exercise?   What passions can you share?

 

Use your tools and your truth to do a project of Creation:

Build something this week.  It can be a physical building, a spiritual building or a mental or intellectual building.   What was your building process? What did you learned from creating?  What tools did you use?
