Trusting God's Guidance – Kingdom Education and Lessons from Genesis 46

In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer reflects on Kingdom Education Principle #7, emphasizing the sacred responsibility of parents to provide a Christ-centered education. When parents delegate this role to teachers and schools, it must be done with care and intention to ensure biblical principles remain at the forefront of every lesson and relationship.

Dr. Farmer connects this principle to key biblical passages, including Genesis 46, where God guides Jacob to move to Egypt. This chapter teaches us to trust in God's plan even when life takes unexpected turns. Just as God reassured Jacob of His presence and faithfulness, parents and educators are called to trust God’s guidance in raising and educating the next generation of disciples. Dr. Farmer explores themes of God's faithfulness, provision, and the importance of spiritual leadership in both the home and the classroom.

You’ll also hear important updates from Berean Baptist Academy, today’s birthday shoutouts, and words of encouragement for the BBA community.
