I've always had a chip on my shoulder about school. Teachers were usually monotone and uninteresting. The classroom venue was built for efficiency, but didn't hold my attention. Most of the time it bored me to tears.

Too often in our churches we model our discipleship and our services off of our failed model of schooling. Discipleship is caught more than it's taught. If you lead a youth group or a Sunday school and the big culmination of your time is a sermon or some talking head, then maybe it's time to get a new paradigm, 'cuz you're not getting through. It's time to change how we teach and disciple. This video drives home the point.
