Psychoanalytical therapy can be seen along developmental lines of three phases, the phases correlating with the early mother/child relationship which is. This seems to change preaching from a proclamation of God’s Word into something else. Dialogue is more effective than monologue when it comes to learning, understanding and communicating. But I am uncomfortable with making the actual preaching event itself a dialogue. And I think the “text messaging” was a neat idea – as long as it helped people to focus on “the message of the text!” I enjoy dialogue in teaching and small group settings.

In fact, we host a discussion of the morning’s message right after the service every Sunday. I am all for having a conversation about the message. At the beginning of the talk, I announced my cell number and asked them to text me while I was speaking with comments on the presentation.” “I had an amazing experience last week while preaching the North Central University chapel with about 800 millennials in the house. It consists of inner speech, where you can hear your own voice play out phrases and conversations.

Text Meets Text: Preaching with Real Time Feedback Internal monologue means more than just pondering over your own thoughts.

Still others demonstrate a failure to grasp the nature of the Word of God and the authority of the gospel.”Īnd here is an article about a preacher who used text messaging with a younger audience as a way for his listeners to respond during the sermon. Others are reactions to genuine problems in some preaching today, but are nonetheless unhealthy reactions. What is a Monologue A monologue is a speech in which a character expresses his thoughts and feelings to the other characters or the audience. “I shall spend the rest of this article examining the different ideas people are proposing when they recommend “conversational preaching.” Some proposals are commendable.

If it does, is it pastorally prudent?” Answers from: Ajith Fernando, R. 🗹 Convey a time frame and explain how you will support the student.Following up on yesterday’s post about preaching and congregational response, here are a couple of articles from the latest 9Marks Newsletter about a different but related subject: conversational preaching, a newer approach where the preacher and congregation actually participate in dialogue during the message. 🗹 Next, have them provide a plan on how they intend to reach their goal. 🗹 Ask what tools and steps the student needs to take to reach this goal. 🗹 If necessary, communicate the consequences if the goal is not met. 🗹 Be ready to clearly explain why meeting this plan or goal is important to your student. Also allow students to bring one as well. 🗹 Have a clear plan, goal, or expectation to share with the students. 🗹 Take the time to gather, maintain, and organize concrete data about student performance Here are some steps I use to ensure dialogue in my classroom with my students.

Each week, I have a ‘data conversation’ with my students where we discuss their performance and set goals. As a teacher/coach who has a classroom with specific goals which must be met, I use the directive coaching approach. There are different models on how a teacher can lead their students as a coach.
