Why don't they just learn how to read?

Update: 2022-01-07

Description

In this episode, Don and Grant take on a common question they receive when training others about oral strategies. Many people ask, "Why don't they just learn to read?" We sometimes assume that models that work for us will work for everyone. A second question addressed on this episode is why tell stories instead of just letting non-readers listen to the Bible being read. Why is a told story different from a story being read?
