It is divided into three sections: 1) Information - receiving information from God, such as through reading scripture. 2) Application - applying the information in our lives through wisdom and obedience. 3) Explanation - explaining the information through illustration, demonstration and teaching others, with the help of the Holy Spirit. The goal is to continue sharing both new and old knowledge from God.
