Welcome

Welcome to the Letters From the Field Blog. Thank you for joining our fellowship. With the onslaught of cultural agendas, toxic school politics, and “my truth” motivations waging a battle for supremacy even in Christian education, the blessing of teaching is growing increasingly burdensome. Sometimes, all of our best efforts and sacrifices seem futile. 

Yet, there remains the greatest hope and guide. 

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

The words and stories shared in the coming days will cultivate a deep sense of community and an even greater understanding and affinity for the freedom and hope an ever-growing biblical worldview affords. Just as Paul’s letters encouraged and admonished believers to stay the course, Letters From the Field are penned to strengthen Christian educators’ resolve to disciple young hearts and minds for the glory of the Lord. Friend, whether you are sacrificing for and sowing courageously into youths online, in a classroom, or at a kitchen table, the harvest you reap matters and transcends generations. 

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 

 

Grace be with you,
