Identify one or two practical ways you can help prepare your students for the struggles they’ll face in the world.
-
One way to help prepare my students for possible struggles they may face is to share personal testimonies of my own, call in some other teachers to share their story, principal, etc.
-
Share my struggles, within reason, and let them know how I use biblical principles to overcome and keep pressing forward.
Remind them that we’ll all will face struggles – how are they going to deal with them? -
I will be honest with them, always using the bible as a backdrop, as this is where we can identify truths that are opposed to today’s culture. The best way I can prepare them is by discipling their hearts to expect deception in this world since deception is so prevalent in so many ways. When secular things come up, or conflicting ideas arise in our community, we’ll compare them to God’s word. I will pray for them to have discernment and discuss discernment and how the Holy Spirit guides us toward truth.

I think having discussions about the world and the things they are facing can be very beneficial in helping them sort out what God’s plan is and what he asks of us. I also think being a safe place where they can ask questions is important. Sharing my life and how God is working can also help them to see how to deal with what they face.
-
I want to make sure to equip them with Biblical knowledge, rhetorical skills, and a Biblical worldview.
