Do you teach theology to your students and how do you go about it?
Theology can be confusing for adults, and I'm learning to take the time to teach it to my students in a way that is not confusing. I'm just curious as to how you teach theology and what resources you use to teach it to your students.

I develop my own material. I don't like pre-packaged stuff much but will check out dare-to-share. It seems it might free up a lot of time... |

I have used the 30 core truths from Dare 2 Share as Tim mentioned. Another great resource that D2S produced and I have used with teens is the original Gospel Journey DVD series. It literally starts in Genesis and ends in Revelation as it teaches the GOSPEL acronym. Great resource for teens who need a solid foundation. |

I also use the 30 Core Truths from Dare 2 Share, essentially hitting the key areas of systematic theology with a very practical approach. The 30 Core Truths set the topics and then I use "Basic Theology" by Charles Ryrie to create my content for the lessons. Great stuff! |

Great question and I am glad to see others think this is important. We do the "heavier lifting" in discipleship groups. On Sunday afternoons once a month we will do what we call "Open Eyes' and will take 2 hours of teaching in a classroom setting. We also do these through our "foundations" discipleship lessons. |

yep, I take the jr. high through the Fundamentals of the Faith and teach through the whole book of Romans verse by verse within a kid's 6 year time with me. Students like to be challenged so why not? |

Yes, I teach theology. I use the 30 Core truths for Dare 2 Share as a guide and use the SoulFuel as a starter. I also us Grudem's Systematic Theology as a guide for some things and teach through certain doctrine. However, my main reason in doing so is that we can own our faith and us it practically. Theology without Practice = arrogance in my book. |

Brian, that's an excellent question. I love theology. I read all of the theological texts that I can and I've taken all the theology courses that I've had an opportunity to take. Deep and confusing theological discussions are my forte. |
