7 Ways to Grow in Studying and Teaching Scripture Without Seminary

June 22, 2016 By Peter Krol

Nancy Guthrie has some really good advice for anyone and everyone who wants to grow at studying and teaching Scripture. She frames her article as 7 ideas for women, but anyone who cares to improve should consider these things:

  1. Keep your passionate heart and inquiring mind engaged with your Bible.
  2. Read some books about interpreting and communicating the Scriptures.
  3. Spend some time studying the geography of the Bible.
  4. Study sound teachers.
  5. Seek out mentors as well as companions for the journey.
  6. Seek feedback on your teaching or leading.
  7. Consider taking online courses from a trusted source.

We neglect such practices to our peril. Even if you’ve been to seminary, your need for growth has not yet come to an end. For more explanation, check it out!
