Episode 69: A Christian Framework for Learning (On Learning, part 3)

Written By Noah Brink

When we begin to formulate a plan for building school wide frameworks for learning, there may be no better place to go than to the "Greatest Commandment." By calling people of faith to love God with all of our hearts, mind, and strength, Jesus is showing us what it looks like to love God with the totality of our natures, and it also gives us a foundation for what we should think about learning.

Host Noah Brink uses this foundation to introduce several "Threefold" frameworks to guide a more biblical dependent approach to learning:

Head, Hand, and Heart

Inward, Upward, and Outward

Prophet, Priest, and King

Any of these three frameworks could be used as starting points for aligning our approach to learning with a more biblical model.
