Why is what you believe about creation important to your role as a Christian educator?
-
If I don’t believe in the Creation story of the Bible – it negates everything else in my so-called Christian belief.

It is important because a big part of our job is to share the Gospel with our students, and Creation is the beginning of it all. Believing that God created the Universe and everything upon it, including humans in His image, impacts how I teach, what I teach, how I interact with my students and colleagues. If I were to believe differently, my beliefs would influence those areas in my job as a teacher and my personal life as well.
