When is a pandemic an opportunity? When it allows you to hit the "reset" button. In this eleventh episode, we acknowledge the importance of Bible classes, highlight the problem accelerated by the pandemic, and encourage churches to see this as an opportunity to restart, renew, and reorganize our adult education programs, bringing in fresh perspectives. We also put in a plug for teacher training.

My featured guests today are Dr. Keith Stanglin, Randy Harris, and Chad Landman. Keith and Randy have been guests on our show before. Chad Landman is the education minister for the Graymere Church of Christ in Columbia, Tennessee.

In this episode, we cover several interesting topics, including:

• Part 1: Affirming Adult Bible Classes as Central for Discipleship (1:13)
• Part 2: Identifying the Problem the Pandemic Only Accelerated (3:38)
• Part 3: Taking This Golden Opportunity to Hit the Reset Button(10:22)
• Part 4: Viewing Teacher Training as Needed...and Vital (19:22)
• And lots, lots more!
