Preaching is what we do. Preaching is powerful. Preaching connects. Preaching changing lives.
But there is so much more to learning than that just your preaching.
In a Learning Church, preaching is just the tip of the pyramid.
A Learning Church incorporates knowledge of learning and retention rates into its planning and methodology. Practices are developed the recognize the need to do more than just talk at people.
A Learning Church know that learning must happen in other places, in other circumstances, and in other ways than just the Sunday sermon.
A Learning Church is constantly striving to drive learning down the pyramid for the biggest impact and life change possible.
Question: Agree that we need to push down the pyramid, but isn't this built on the assumption that information will change people? Is that the fundamental model of Jesus? Isn't it imitation (apprenticeship model) built on information?

I agree with your premise in this post. The graphic you used, however, is from "the mythical learning pyramid research." Please see the following explanation:

I like the idea that there should be something more than preaching. Hope that you focus on many subjects apart from church,
