Thom and Joani Schultz described how Christian leaders can encourage participation by asking open-ended questions. The purpose of a Bible class is to help everyone grow in faith and understanding. When teachers ask fact-based questions, only the smartest kids get to answer and be affirmed. That can cause faith problems for Sally and Johnny. Each one leaves feeling like he or she has something valuable to offer God and that Bible class is a place where people affirm and encourage the gifts God has given.
Millionaire is image-based.
Our culture has become more image based and less word-oriented. Corporations like Nike pay billions of dollars to develop a positive image that sticks in people's minds. Christian educators need to apply this observation by crafting sensory images to mold faith. Millionaire is connective. Even small children enjoy Millionaire because they can answer the simple questions.
