Pneumatic Experience as Teaching Methodology in Pentecostal Tradition

Abstract

"The driving motive behind this paper is a question I have pondered for the past two years as to whether teaching, as a spiritual charism in the local church, differs in any way from teaching as either an innate aptitude or acquired skill. This has been a question of personal inventory regarding my own development both spiritually and ministerially, as it seems that life has revealed myself foremost as a teacher in spiritual gifting and to spiritual oversight in calling. Every few years it seems that through the process of ministerial experience and development, I have learned a few new things about ministry, which for the most part has naturally been in the areas of leadership, teaching or shepherding. Regarding my involvement in various teaching ministries, I have sought to integrate in ministry whatever new concept I have acquired in the areas of curriculum design and development, learning taxonomies, learning outcomes and competencies, and teaching and communicative methodologies."
