Intern Training

The book of Proverbs outlines a process of godly learning: from knowledge (accumulation of information)…to wisdom (application of information, know-how or skills)…to understanding (appropriation of underlying principles, context and character). The objective here is to build a proactive partnership of coach and intern with the help of key books—that is, to be selected, read, discussed, and applied at the coach's discretion. Hopefully, this will:

1. promote cohesiveness and unity while growing in character
2. wisdom and
3. understanding.
