S2E44 Learning in the School of the Father with Him!

In this episode, Jamie and Raz talk about what it means to enroll in “The School of the Father”—where the Teacher is God Himself.

Throughout the Scriptures, we find a stunning promise: God wants to personally teach His children. From the prophets of the Old Testament to the words of Jesus and the Apostle Paul, we see a thread of divine instruction—the Father leading, guiding, and forming us by His Spirit.

Even the psalmist understood this reality:
 “I have more understanding than all my teachers . . . for You have taught me.”
 Psalm 119:99–102

Jamie and Raz unpack passages like Isaiah 30, Jeremiah 31, and 1 Thessalonians 4, showing that walking with Him means learning from Him.

1 Thessalonians 4: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Thessalonians+4%3A9&version=ESV

They also offer practical steps for getting into this “school”:

1. Enroll yourself – Believe that God, the Father, wants to be your teacher.
2. Open your textbook – Read the Bible with expectation that He’ll speak.
3. Listen to the lecture – Slow down and let the Spirit highlight truth.
4. Take notes – Write down what you hear so you don’t forget.
5. Ask questions – Dialogue with the Father; learning happens in relationship.
