A New Way To Equip You As A Disciple
The Spirit of the LORD is active and looking for new ways to reach His people. We are witnessing a new way to equip disciples of Jesus all around the world by using digital tutor (DT) technologies. These are very exciting news for us and for you! We anticipate that with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit, the DT can bring a new dimension to enhance and promote your spiritual formation.
Most importantly, we rely on and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to initiate and continue the transformative process in you.” José E. Balcells, Ph.D.
Jesus spent years teaching and mentoring his disciples. The Gospels, a series of texts about Jesus’ life, show us how his disciples underwent a process of transformation. The Holy Spirit played a key role in this transformation. As a disciple, you too can also join in this type of transformative process.
Following Jesus’ Model
Ok, so not all of us can travel full-time as disciples with a mentor to Israel or other far way land. However, we can look at Jesus’ way of teaching and adapt his model, as best as we can, for current times and situations.
Our course on discipleship, “This Is The Way!”, brings to you Jesus’ teaching techniques. We incorporate these ideas also in other courses. When you join us in one of our digital tutor courses, you can experience this way of learning. Our instructors understand and have experience teaching effectively following this model. These instructors designed the content for the digital tutor and the on-site sessions.
How Can The Digital Tutor Help In Your Transformation?
First things first, and to have things clear, the Holy Spirit is the one that brings transformation. However, we too need to be part of the process! What is Iodea’s role then? Well, the way we see it, we facilitate your encounter with the biblical text and the LORD. The digital tutor is not the only way to bring this encounter, but it is a way.
Our courses do not follow methods of instruction that emphasize delivery of content or information. Instead, we focus on engaging you with questions and activities that require you to critically think and more deeply encounter the biblical text. You take ownership of your study, resulting in a closer encounter with the biblical text and the LORD. We encourage you to start each lesson with a prayer, and then at the end of each lesson we share a blessing for you.
