How does your biblical worldview currently influence your role as a Christian educator?
-
It influences my role to not focus solely on academics, but rather educating each child as a whole. The end goal is to be the hands and feet of Jesus and share with each student about Jesus, and academics (while extremely important) pales in comparison.

My role is to teach my courses, to teach apologetics, support students in their faith, challenge them to raise their bar in their walk with Christ, and through this all it should always be engaging and fun. Learning is an adventure, preparation for spiritual battle, preparation for life/career, and an integral part of learning are the light bulb moments. ‘Light bulb’ moments never get old and helping the students achieve those is such a blessing. Knowing that this is a calling, not a career, and that part of that calling is pursuing my spiritual and personal growth, and to grow my skills to serve is both challenging and rewarding. There is greater accountability (James 3:1), but the rewards and blessing could not be greater.

Well…it is the basis of everything I do. Not just what I teach, but also how I am conducting myself- which makes me more patient and loving toward them.

As it relates to this issue, I feel fortunate that I teach Christian Worldview at my school. I don’t have to work hard to integrate it, it is what I teach. That being said, I think it is important that the Christian worldview is MY worldview, not just the content of my courses. As a teacher, I also strive to be a learner. As I teach worldview, I try to constantly refine and reprove my worldview as I hold it up against scripture. It is my sincere hope that, as a consequence, students can clearly see that the Christian worldview is MY worldview and that, in modeling this, they would be more inclined to make it their worldview as well.

Everything I teach reflects my Christian Worldview. I do not want to compartmentalize my faith.
