The previous focus in this series was the visual learner. This post give tips for the auditory learner, again in the three components of the Christian lifestyle (academics, spirituality, leadership): School Life: To do well in school, you can ask your teachers if you can bring in a portable recorder or use an mp3/iPod to record you classes. If you have a hard time taking notes “live” (in class during the lecture), you can make time to listen to the recording at home and take notes then. Spiritual Life: For personal devotions, you can listen to the Bible being read (Zondervan sells an audio Bible, and Bible.is is online) while reading along; you could put the audio Bible on your laptop, iPod/mp3/mp4 player to carry it around with you throughout the day too. Leadership Life: If you are the leader of a group, you can lead your team out in a discussion on what should be done and record the discussion for further insight. Then you could compile the plans into a fact sheet with a colorf...

     Each of us is unique. Though we are made in the image of God-- meaning that we can share some of the attributes of God, such as holiness, justice, and love-- we are made individualistically. Universal, yet individual. One Creator, different DNA in each creation.      Because we are made differently, we will all think and learn differently also; however, because we are of the same Creator, we can generalize these different thought processes into three learning styles--  Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. Now, the three foundational aspects in the life of an everyday Christian youth are academics, spirituality, and leadership. For this reason, the suggestions given will focus on these three facets. This week, we will focus on the visual learning style. School Life: To succeed academically as a visual learner, you can read whatever needs to be read and then write down what you understand or grasp on colorful post-its. If you own a textbook...

     In life, there is a need for leaders—persons who will take up responsibility and be the trendsetters that others can follow. As Reed Markham, PhD, stated, “ Successful leaders see the opportunity in every difficulty rather than the difficulty in every opportunity”. “Remember the Titans” is an inspiring movie that teaches the truth about leadership and positive influence.      Among the many examples of leadership portrayed in this movie is Gerry Bertier, captain of the TC Williams football team. Gerry showed qualities of leadership by taking charge and following through with his responsibility. One of the ways he did this was by dropping Ray, his best friend, from the team due to the fact that Ray was not playing defensively on behalf of his Negro teammates, which resulted in the injury of one of them. Even though this decision threatened his friendship with Ray, Gerry still fulfilled his responsibility. Another quality of leadership Gerry shows i...
