The prospective teacher must believe that everything to live a godly life is contained within the pages of God’s written message to humanity. The teacher should be convinced enough of that fact that he or she patterns his or her life on its precepts and desires to see others do the same.

As a Christian teacher, your mission as a teacher needs to go beyond just teaching academics. You need to know God has called you to the classroom, and you should also be looking for Him to change lives, regardless of where you teach. Listen to this episode to find out the different forms this mission takes in public schools vs. Christian schools. ...
If you want to have a big impact, you need to gain the respect of your students, fellow teachers, and administration. One way to do that is by pursuing excellence in all you do. But while a great danger lies in being mediocre, even greater danger arises when we seek perfection. Instead, we must seek to do our best for Christ, seeking excellence but...
Love is the most powerful force on earth and the one that can make the biggest difference in your students’ hearts. Yet sometimes it’s hard to demonstrate true, genuine love. Especially when a particular kiddo’s not being very lovable. We need to remember that love is not a feeling. Love is a choice. And on the days when love is hardest, we must ch...
We’ve talked a lot about how important classroom management is, but apart from simply keeping order, we have an important question to ask ourselves. Are we more concerned with what’s in a student’s heart or just with their outward behavior? It’s relatively easy to force a certain outward behavior, and students can learn to simply play the part. But...
Genuine humility and real faith inspire respect in students, which in turn, provides an amazing opportunity for influence. We cannot put on a facade for our students – try to be something we’re not. Instead, we must simply be the best we can, be real about our struggles, and ask for forgiveness when we fall short. But we can’t force humility if it’...
Encouragement is so much more than praise.

And do we go beyond encouraging and also edify our students – b...
Prayer & our relationship with God are the most important keys to everything in our life, including our work in the classroom. We can teach in our own power, but we’ll only accomplish so much. If we want real, lasting impact, that has to come from Him. He’s the one that knows what our students need. And He’s the one that has to work in their hearts...
No matter where you teach, you must always remember that what God tells us in His Word is the truth – regardless of whether it’s popular, regardless of whether anyone else agrees with it. There IS absolute truth. Values are not different than facts. This is the world’s wisdom, but it’s wrong. No matter what situation comes up in your classroom – fr...
As I read your emails & comments, I see a lot of fear, a lot of stress, a lot of worry. And it’s no wonder – teaching is pretty stressful. But this struggle should look a whole lot different for Christians than it does for non-Christians. And that difference should provide a stark contrast and example – something nonbelieving students and colleague...
Imagine the power of your testimony – how attractive the Gospel would appear to your students, parents, & colleagues – if your actions were always full of love, if heart was overflowing with joy, if you had peace amidst the chaos, if you consistently demonstrated patience, if you were kind and good, had great faith, had the humility of meekness, an...

May 24, 2022 · The calling to be a teacher is not for those who have “arrived;” it is for those who can model in their life and living what it means to be a lifelong disciple of Jesus Christ; ever-growing, ever-learning, ever becoming—that is perhaps the greatest lesson one can teach.
