Do you want your young adult students to be more motivated to learn God’s Word? Then you need to focus on group affiliation in the learning process.
To approach Bible teaching with young adults as an academic pursuit, you will tend to miss the mark with them. Yes, they do need the truth of God’s Word but it needs to be embedded relationally. Truth must remain central but you cannot make it void of the social element.
This article is included as a handout in the Reaching All Age Levels Resource with a brief suggestion on how to motivate young adults based on this need. The resource also includes similar articles for the other age groups. It provides you with a teacher training group session in which you gather teachers of all age groups for a PowerPoint presentation followed by breakout sessions to personalize it according to age levels.
