Coffee with the Superintendent
Coffee with the Superintendent is a podcast hosted by Dr. Jack Farmer, Superintendent of Berean Baptist Academy (BBA), created to engage the BBA community uniquely and personally. This podcast serves as a bridge between the school’s leadership and families, students, and faculty, providing regular updates, spiritual encouragement, and insight into the educational mission and values of the academy.
Each episode is divided into three segments: The Grind, The Holy Spirit’s Water, and The Add-Ins (for weekday episodes).
-
The Grind covers daily announcements and school updates, helping listeners stay informed about birthdays, events, and important happenings on campus.
-
The Holy Spirit’s Water offers a daily devotional on Scripture and its relevance. Dr. Farmer shares personal reflections, often connecting biblical truths to BBA’s mission of fostering citizenship, excellence, and spiritual growth in students.
-
The Add-Ins (weekday episodes) dive into relevant issues in education and faith, such as leadership challenges, educational trends, and the pressures facing teachers and administrators. This segment provides a thoughtful perspective on the complexities of Christian education and Dr. Farmer’s vision for a school culture rooted in discipline, academic excellence, and biblical values.
On weekends, Coffee with the Superintendent is a shorter, more relaxed episode, or “espresso shot,” highlighting birthdays and a brief devotional thought.
The podcast strengthens the community’s connection to BBA’s mission, fosters transparency, and encourages families and staff through meaningful, faith-based content. By sharing practical updates and spiritual insights, Dr. Farmer creates a space where listeners can feel informed, inspired, and biblically grounded, all while staying aligned with BBA’s core values and purpose.
