Some people have a natural bent toward acting and could effectively employ it as a Bible Teaching Method.
Some people are naturally animated and some are not.
Some people are more inhibited while other people can let go.
Some are well organized and could put together a major production and some can barely get a basic lesson together.

We need to work within our own bents to use drama as a Bible teaching method rather than eliminate it from the learning experience. In time we might step out of their comfort zones to take the next step.
