In the May 22, 2025 episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jackie Farmer tackles one of the most sobering sections of Scripture—Leviticus 20:10–21—where God outlines the consequences for sexual sins that destroy families and dishonor His design. Dr. Farmer explains how these commands reflect not only moral clarity, but divine wisdom that protects the people of God. He draws strong parallels to Romans 1, showing that the only hope for transformation is the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In The Grind, we celebrate TJ (12th grade) and Pastor Jonathan on their birthdays, and recognize Pastor Jonathan’s quiet, sacrificial work in the audio-visual ministry at BBA. We also provide key updates on today’s exam schedule for 7th–12th grade students.
In The Add-Ins, we examine Resource Planning – Indicator 1, where long-range budgeting meets kingdom stewardship. Dr. Farmer shares how BBA evaluates six-year enrollment trends and adjusts for spiritual and academic discernment, not just financial growth—lowering projections this year to protect the school’s mission and academic integrity.
This episode calls us to live wisely, plan faithfully, and cling tightly to the grace of Christ.
