Coffee with the Superintendent

Grafted by Grace – Truth, Love, and the Call to Humility

In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we explore Romans 11:11-24, where Paul explains how God has grafted the Gentiles into His redemptive plan while still holding the door open for Israel’s return. This passage challenges us to approach our faith with humility, gratitude, and a heart for sharing the gospel, rather than arrogance or judgment.

In The Grind, we celebrate student birthdays, kick off Upper School Quarter Exams, and look forward to Middle School Softball hosting Village Christian (weather permitting). And, in case you missed it—today’s hot meal is breakfast for lunch!

In The Add-Ins, we reflect on the importance of balancing truth and kindness with today’s Quote of the Day: “If your honesty always wounds, it’s not wisdom. If your kindness always avoids truth, it’s not integrity. Decency lives in the balance.” We discuss how biblical wisdom calls us to speak truth in love, follow Christ’s example in our conversations, and avoid the extremes of harshness or passivity.

Join us as we seek to walk in faith, integrity, and grace in every part of our lives!

Faithfulness, Growth, and the Challenge to Move Forward

In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we explore the depth of God’s faithfulness in preserving a remnant, as seen in Romans 11:1-10, and reflect on what it means to be part of the True Israel of God—those who are called and sustained by His grace.

In The Grind, we celebrate student birthdays, highlight upcoming athletic events, and share exciting news about BBA’s first-ever Alumni Dinner. Plus, a friendly reminder that Spring Break is just around the corner, and Friday is a half-day with teacher professional development to follow.

In The Add-Ins, we introduce the Word of the Week: Bombastic, discuss the power of facing hard truths, and unpack today’s Quote of the Day—a challenge to step beyond fear and embrace growth. But is this idea biblical? We explore what Scripture says about change, faithfulness, and trusting God’s call, even when it means stepping into the unknown.

Join us for encouragement, insight, and a reminder that every moment matters as we walk in faith and discipline.

Faithfulness in the Small Things

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer walks us through the importance of faithfulness in both the big and small moments of life. We celebrate student birthdays, clarify an important scheduling update, and remind everyone to set their clocks forward for Daylight Saving Time.

In The Add-Ins, we unpack the powerful truth that how you do anything is how you do everything—a reminder that discipline and integrity are built in the daily choices no one sees. We also reflect on Romans 10:14-21, where Paul emphasizes the role of believers in spreading the gospel and the responsibility, we have to live out our faith with consistency.

Join us for a time of encouragement, reflection, and practical wisdom for the day ahead!

The Cost of Change and the Call to Faith

Growth comes with a price, and sometimes that price is losing the approval of those who never wanted you to grow in the first place. In today’s episode, we explore what it means to step forward in faith, even when it leads to tension, distance, or opposition. We also dive into Romans 10:5-13, breaking down the essential truth of salvation—rejecting self-righteousness, embracing Christ’s righteousness, and living a life fully devoted to Him.

Change isn’t about making others comfortable; it’s about following God’s call. Tune in as we discuss biblical wisdom on growth, faith, and what it truly means to call on the name of the Lord.

Zeal Without Knowledge – The Tragic Mistake of Rejecting Christ

In today’s episode of The Holy Spirit’s Water, we dive into Romans 10:1-4, where Paul expresses deep sorrow for Israel, a people with great zeal for God but without true knowledge. What does it mean to have passion without understanding? Why is Christ the end of the law for righteousness? We explore how human effort cannot attain righteousness but only through faith in Jesus.

In The Grind, we celebrate birthdays, recognize Career Day, and appreciate those investing in our students’ futures.

In The Add-Ins, we confront a thought-provoking challenge: One day, you will meet the person you could have been. Will you step into God’s calling or let excuses hold you back?

Join us for this powerful discussion on living in true righteousness, stepping into our calling, and embracing the life God intends for us.

Called to Step Up – Embracing God’s Sovereignty and Our Responsibility

In today’s episode, we explore Romans 9:20, 27-33, diving into the sovereignty of God, the inclusion of the Gentiles into the covenant body, and the shift from ethnic Israel to the spiritual Israel of God. We also reflect on what it means to step into the role God has designed for us, resisting the temptation to blend into the background when He calls us to act.

From Paul’s lament for Israel to the stumbling stone of faith versus works, we break down these powerful truths from a New Covenant Theology perspective, drawing practical lessons for our daily walk with Christ.

The Grind covers important school updates, birthdays, and upcoming events, including today’s Open House and spring athletics matchups. In The Add-Ins, we analyze a compelling quote about courage, responsibility, and the moment life calls us to act.

The Sovereign Hand of God – Understanding His Mercy and Justice

In today’s episode of The Holy Spirit’s Water, we dive into Romans 9:13-26, where Paul continues to explain God's sovereign choice in salvation. Through the examples of Jacob and Esau, Moses, and Pharaoh, we see that God’s mercy and justice are entirely under His divine authority. What does it mean for God to have mercy on whom He wills and to harden whom He wills? How do we reconcile this with human responsibility?

We’ll explore these deep theological truths through a New Covenant lens, drawing connections to Old Testament case studies and other New Testament teachings. Finally, we’ll discuss how understanding God’s sovereignty shapes the way we live, trust, and serve Him daily.

Tune in as we unpack these powerful truths and apply them to our Christian Walk!

True Israel, God's Sovereign Election, and the Call to Faith

In today’s episode, we dive into Romans 9:1-13, where Paul expresses deep sorrow for Israel and introduces the profound theological distinction between ethnic Israel and spiritual Israel—those who are heirs to God's promises through faith. We explore God’s sovereign election through the stories of Isaac over Ishmael and Jacob over Esau, breaking down the biblical tension between predestination and free will. What does this mean for believers today? How does this shape our understanding of salvation?

Additionally, we cover BBA’s Day of Giving, aiming to raise $10,000 today to enhance our programs and athletics. We also highlight important upcoming events like Open House, key athletic matchups, and today’s thought-provoking quote about pushing past excuses and embracing perseverance.
