If a teacher or anyone for that fact does not have a clear understanding of their own beliefs how are they going to be a witness to someone else.

Students are looking for us as teachers to know the answers and are bold when we teach them. What we tell and teach them will affect what they hold true.

It is incredibly important for Christian educators to know their own answers to these questions because what they teach to their students will come from either confidence or lack of confidence in these answers. If we can boldly stand close to God and share with our students with confidence that will greatly affect their lives and what they are learning.

Students are looking to educators for answers, and as a source of authority. Students even more now need to see Christian role models who hold fast to the faith. For these reasons, it’s important for our students to have answers to their questions from people who are living those answers out in their own lives.
