1 Peter 3:15 commands us to be ready to give an answer for the hope that is in us. Being able to articulate our faith and relate it to philosophical conversations will open the doors for others to see that what we believe is more than just blind faith. It is truth.

We should know where we came from and pass that along.

Help better understand their students and the world around them. Help provide a strong foundation for the students curriculum, their approach to education when addressing complex questions about life, meaning and morality.

As the scripture says “for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers…” Ideologies and systems have been put in strategic places to corrupt the young mind. Many ideologies of the world have found their way into the educational system and has left the Christian educator in a constant battle/fight with the world system. It is therefore imminent for the Christian educator to know what the bible/scripture says about God’s truth about existence, knowledge and values so that they can give an answer (1Peter 3:15) to every child whenever the need arises.
