Setting up Hypothesis was quite easy and thought it was cool to be able to comment on the text on the website and see other’s comments.
The content itself was interesting, one of the quote rubbed me the wrong way…
“contact works in multiple ways. Face-time is over-valued”
I’m not a teacher in a classroom or online setting, but I teach through discipling students one-on-one and in my opinion that is best done in-person. A huge aspect of ministry is being “present” with students and being incarnational in how you live your life, allowing them to get to know you and learn from your life. Discipleship is wholistic and “life-on-life” and the online environment can supplement that and I enjoy that aspect of interacting with the students, but the primary and in my opinion most effective way to disciple is “in-person.”
Jesus in his Great Commission passage of Matthew 28:20 mentions that discipleship is “teaching them to obey everything I have comanded you.” I think the “everything” part of teaching is not possible in student ministry, if it only stays in the digital environment.
