Living Differently – Love, Suffering, and Choosing Growth

In today’s Coffee with the Superintendent episode, we explore Romans 12:9-21, where Paul gives practical instructions on how Christians should live, love, and respond to the world. These verses challenge us to embody genuine love, patience in suffering, humility, and a commitment to peace—reflecting Christ in every interaction.
In The Grind, we celebrate the start of Spring Break, remind everyone about our first-ever BBA Alumni Dinner on June 5 at Cape Fear Botanical Gardens, and encourage our community to rest and recharge before the final stretch of the school year.
In The Add-Ins, we break down today’s Quote of the Day: “We don’t get to choose the pain. We do get to choose what we build from it.” Is this biblical? Absolutely. Suffering is a reality of life, but Scripture teaches that our response to it determines whether it refines us or hinders us. We discuss how God uses trials to strengthen our faith, how pain can lead to growth, and why trusting in God’s sovereignty helps us build something meaningful from our struggles.
Join us as we reflect on how to live out our faith through action, love, and perseverance-choosing to let every experience, good or painful, shape us into who God has called us to be!
