Josh Hunt's Good Questions & More

As a minister of education and trainer for adult Sunday School teachers, I like these lessons because the three accountability questions asked each week keep the group on track for outreach and spiritual accountability The opening question is a great conversation starter and icebreaker giving opportunity for everyone to share ?the opening question levels the playing field, allowing everyone, even new people, to share and become part of the group The number and variety of questions are easily inserted into other lesson plans.

For several years, my wife, Beverly, and I have team-taught an adult couples Sunday School class at East Sherman Baptist Church, Sherman, Texas. We have found Josh Hunt's teaching helps to be most helpful, not only in providing us with additional insight into the Scripture study, but also encouraging class participation through the use of his study questions. Leroy Ingram

We've just begun using Good Questions, but the response from my teachers has been overwhelmingly positive! Even some of our older groups have been positive. While the teachers are obviously unable to utilize all the questions, they have been excited about picking and choosing to jumpstart their lesson discussions. Good job, Bro. Josh!

I teach an adult Sunday School Class and use Good Questions each and every week. They have worked out great for our church. Rodger Bingham Crittenden Christian Church Rodger Bingham

I've been a Josh Hunt fan for several years...since the publication of his first book. What most attracted me to Josh's vision was his approach to teaching. Rather than advocating the often pretentious style of lecturing ("let me show you what I know"), Josh compels teachers to lead with questions, the type that "get people talking". Where the Lesson Vault has been most valuable to me is in the days after I've completed my lesson preparation. I'll look at Josh's questions and see if, in his study of the same texts, he has come up with a type of question that I have missed or not previously considered. In other words, I use the Lesson Vault as sort of an "outside the box" resource to give me a second set of eyes on the topic as I am polishing my lesson.

I have been a frequent user ofthe Lesson Vault for a few years now as a Sunday School teacher of adults between the ages of 30 and 60. The lessons have been invaluable in not only providing me with many questions I use but also in fueling my creative juices in coming up with questions and approaches of my own. My background has been straight teaching but since I have used this resource in my class the feedback has been outstanding. The students love the level of interaction and it is great to see minds actively at work together. Thanks Josh, Rick DeMile Silverdale Baptist Church Silverdale Washington Rick DeMile

I teach Adults in their 30s. I use the lesson helps almost every Sunday. They drastically shorten my lesson preparation times and get people talking. People really respond to the conversational style of teaching. The lesson helps epitomize Proverbs 27:17 - "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." NIV With the lesson helps, I have grown from a half-decent teacher to a good teacher who teaches better than half-decent lessons. Keep up the great work for the glory of God. Mr. Kelly Brady, Adult III Sunday School Teacher Faith Baptist Church Wichita Falls, TX. Kelly Brady

Your helps are a huge treasure trove in presenting lessons that engage and connect adults to the Bible and also to each other. I know many other teachers at First Baptist who have also come to appreciate how your lesson questions help them consider new ideas and directions. These questions are so memorable that attendees keep these in mind all week. Keep up the great work! Paul Byrom Minister of Education First Baptist Church Midland Texas Paul Byrom

These lessons worked great for priming the pump to start discussions in Chapel Bible Study groups when I was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Jerry Shacklett Chaplain(CPT) Kentucky National Guard Full Time Support Chaplain 1/623d FA(MLRS)BN Chaplain Jerry Shacklett

I am only too glad to voice a word of endorsement for your lessons. Every item you mentioned is certainly true and I would say that all of them are reasons that a Sunday School Teacher who wants to do their best ought to be using them. One other reason that I like them is that so many times they have caused me to take a second look at a verse of scripture to find that there is a deeper question to ponder than just the "standard" meaning that most are used to applying to that verse. May our Lord and the Holy Spirit continue to lead in your life. Thank you for your ministry in this special area. Clyde Bell FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH JOELTON, TN Teacher, Couples aged 55 - 70. Clyde Bell
