I just saw a great video based upon the premise of "Can we motivate people to do something good for them if they think it will be fun?"
Reminded me of something I heard years ago in a preaching class. THE BIBLE IS NOT BORING! "It is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword". If people perceive the Bible to be boring it is because of something we have done to it.
If the people in the video could change perceptions so that people were willing to take the stairs instead of the escalator (even the frail, elderly gentleman at the very end of the video), what might you be able to do to change the way people perceive Biblical training?
I'm not talking about compromising the message!! but how it is presented. The training to join the special forces in the military is not easy, but it is packaged and delivered in such a way that there is a waiting list to get in each class of recruits.
The elite military, elite business schools, elite sports teams, etc. inspire aspiration so that potential recruits are willing to pay great price for the privilege of participating.
What could be done so that the same aspiration was attached to your small group or class?
