How does your biblical worldview currently influence your role as a Christian educator?
-
My biblical worldview informs my teaching in that I understand, and try to communicate to students, that God has an answer to every human question in His Word and in His Person.
-
Having a biblical worldview and know that each of my students were made in the image of God and are God’s children, has helped me in how I relate and treat my students. Each one is special, unique, and valuable. I try my best to treat them as such. Also knowing how gracious God is to me, I try my best to extend the same kind of grace to my students and the people that I work with.

Knowing that we are a part of HIS + STORY and a greater mission allows me to step back and see the big picture. My students are like a train riding along a track. I won’t ever know which train stop will be their salvation station but I am still a part of their journey. Equipping them for the track ahead is valuable and necessary so that they have resources and lessons to refer back to.
-
It is the sole influence in my role as a Christian educator. God’s word is the truth, and if I know that truth, everything that I do inside and outside the classroom, will mirror that truth.

I am in what I would consider a rare situation. I am a JROTC instructor at a Christian School. The Military program has a leadership component. We want to create leaders and we use a military model to teach those lessons. As a Christian educator, I have the opportunity to inject into that training a Christian view of leadership.
I can often see the tension in the students as they grow in leadership within the program. They want to lead aggressively because that is what they think military leadership is. I have to come alongside them and show them what kind of leader God calls them to be. We get to look at the character of Jesus Christ and have that be our model for leadership.
