Some teachers eschew the LifeWay lesson materials in favor of preparing their own lessons. The reasons for this vary, but I’ve heard comments like, “The material is boring,” or “The suggested applications are weak.”
LifeWay’s EXTRA helps avoid staleness of the material, which is prepared months in advance, but I’m still driven to look for ideas that help make the Bible lessons more clear, interesting and relevant.
I use LifeWay material as a starting point for structuring my own lessons. This helps me “own it” when I teach. I like distributing the Learner Guide to all members to promote studying the “same lesson” in advance of meeting together.
What are your thoughts about using LifeWay materials?
