Training Day

Posted: August 26, 2011 in Uncategorized

I saw the edited version of this film starring Denzel Washington. Good movie, but with all the voice overs I reckon the DVD version is not a good one for Christians! Alonzo Harris (Denzel) was supposed to be training his new partner in the ways of an undercover cop. Alonzo was a corrupt cop and did everything but train Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke)!

A man I know said this generation of Christians needs “training”. So I’m asking: What specific areas do you feel training is needed? What format should the training come (seminar, small church group, online video, etc…)?

You can reply here in the comment section or on my Facebook page. Thanks in advance for your input!

  1. I’m trying to imagine what the voice overs said in certain scenes, and I’m chuckling to myself.

    Anyway, I like small groups with a platform for Q&A, and if the attendees are of the right mix and experience, maybe even some open discussion. Someone would also be required to moderate with a scheduled agenda and to stay on topic.
    I think videos are neat and convenient, but it cannot compare to personal contact with a small or group or with individuals. Sitting online at your computer trying to watch an instructional video can go awry too quickly with emails popping up and such. I know I personally find myself hitting pause to get something to drink or to check that email, only to never hit play again.
    In regards to content… I think I might have to chew on that one a bit.
