Postmodernism presents a challenge to the Christian view of epistemology. What are some practical ways you, as a Christian educator, can respond to this challenge?

Providing a forum for philosophical argument, teaching a biblical worldview, and encouraging them to look at what is real and what exists through the lens of the Christian faith.

I think it is super important to allow students to express how they feel and give them the space to do so. As well as, giving them tools to be able to process things in a healthy way and learn how to regulate their emotions.

As a Christian educator, I can remind our students that the Bible is true and guides us on how to live. I can take care to lovingly remind them that there is right and wrong, and the Lord values His human creations through what He has deemed right and wrong. We also have a unique opportunity as Christian educators to care about the feelings and experiences of our students while being able to compare those to what actually corresponds to Truth in reality. Not shying away from tough conversations will give me opportunities to present true principles of right and wrong.

I believe firmly in helping children manage their emotions as they feel them by trying to quickly get to the root cause of the emotions. Once the root cause is discovered, pointing to biblical truths about how our hearts can decieve us and realizing the importance of going to God with our emotions.
