In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer walks listeners through the critical challenges Christian schools across the country are facing—mission drift, staff shortage, and financial tension. With a storyteller’s voice and a pastor’s heart, he outlines what’s at stake when schools soften truth to stay relevant, rush teachers into classrooms without deep discipleship, or lose focus chasing enrollment and tuition. Drawing from national reports by CESA, ACSI, and AACS, this episode is both a warning and a call to courage.
If you’re an educator, parent, board member, or pastor who believes Christian education must stay anchored in Christ—not culture—this conversation is for you. Pour a cup and pull up a chair as we return to the Gospel-centered mission that must define every classroom, hallway, and chapel service.
Because if we lose the mission, we lose the next generation.
