Harvest and Heritage: Pentecost, Preparation, and Purpose
Tuesday May 27, 2025
Tuesday May 27, 2025
In the May 27, 2025 episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jackie Farmer opens with Leviticus 23:15–21, explaining the significance of the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) and how it was fulfilled in Acts 2 through the giving of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost marks not only the birth of the Church, but the beginning of the great harvest of souls—a mission we are still part of today.
In The Grind, we celebrate Anthony (6th grade) and Mrs. Angela Farmer on their birthdays, reflect on her behind-the-scenes impact at BBA, and remind upper school families that B-Day exams for 3rd and 4th periods take place today with a half-day dismissal. For all other students, breakfast is on the lunch menu.
In The Add-Ins, Dr. Farmer walks through Standard 17: Instructional Resources, showing how Berean Baptist Academy balances physical textbooks with digital tools like EBSCOHost, Grammarly Pro, and Magic School AI, always anchored in traditional practices that emphasize reading, writing, and discussion. From Moby Max for young learners to hybrid high school models, Berean’s approach is intentional, thoughtful, and Christ-centered.
This episode encourages listeners to honor the past, embrace the present, and move forward with Spirit-filled purpose.
