David has his Masters degree in curriculum and instruction design and Shirley is an early childhood education specialist.
Workshops
Bringing Together Great Masterpieces of Art and Biblical Truth
Great art has endured over time due to the artists placing Biblical truth onto their canvas. Through the study of art, we can see God’s majesty and the beauty of His creation. In a similar way to great literature, art masterworks can take us on a journey to significant historical places and times where they come to life and leave lasting impressions upon our memories. However, the visual nature of art inspires and teaches us in ways that words alone cannot. We pray that studying of artworks and Scripture will draw us closer to God and refresh our souls.
Reading Between the Lines: Understanding the Worldview of Authors
Typically, when we are reading a book of fiction, we focus on the plot, character, and theme of the story. What do you mean by “reading between the lines?” Good question. It is trying to figure out and understand what the author didn’t say by what he did say. It is searching for clues to understand the author’s basic beliefs regarding the most significant questions in life, such as: What is God like? How did the world begin? What is the basic nature of man? Furthermore, what is Truth? This is reading at the highest and most important level. Listen in as David and Shirley explore what it means to be reading between the lines.
Math — According to Abbott and Costello
While practice may make perfect, learn from Abbott and Costello why practice doesn’t make understanding. Although a child may get every problem on a math page correct, that does not insure he or she has any idea of what it means. Learn from David how to instill meaning into each math lesson.
