I was privileged recently to speak to the full faculty of Vanguard University of Southern California on the topic: “Spirit-Empowered Teaching.” The theme of the conference was: “Beyond: Abundantly Empowered to Serve God’s Kingdom,” and the following passage from Ephesians 3:20, 21: “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Presented below are links to my notes and the PowerPoint deck I used in my presentation. As you’ll see, I began by telling my faculty colleagues that I wanted to chat with them some about:

What “beyond” might look like with respect to our pedagogy.

Or, more specifically . . .

What “beyond” might look like with respect to our lesson planning, lecturing, and personal interactions with our students both inside and outside the classroom.

By the time the presentation was over, I had referred to the possibility of some “prophetic professoring”!

While more is always said during the course of a presentation, I trust that between looking over my notes and viewing the PowerPoint slides those interested will be able gain the gist of my proposal.

Enjoy!
