In this course students will discuss, debate and meditate on the Gospels, finding deeper meaning and understanding, resulting in an experience so deep they can re-tell stories word for word in their native language—as if they were actual eyewitnesses to the event. In doing this, students are transformed to be more like Jesus. Students will also learn storytelling skills and practice natural memory techniques. Students will create imaginary memories to see what the eyewitnesses saw and say what they meant, developing honest, technique-free communication that compels audience attention and understanding of the Scriptures.
