You’re a Christian serving in a school. In response to Christ’s love and as the foundation for your ministry at school, you want to have a growing relationship with God.

Question: How’s your relationship with God?

To find out, take the following self-assessment. Read More...

You’re working to help your students develop the mind of Christ. You want to help your students to connect what they study and the Bible. You’ve helped your student connect what they study and specific Biblical principles. And you want to make sure that your students connect what they study with the big picture of what God is doing.

Question: What’s the big picture?

Answer: God’s story of creation-fall-redemption-restoration. Here’s the short version of God’s story. Read More...

Help your students connect God's world, God's Word, and their lives.

Smaller things fit into bigger things. For example, puzzle pieces fit into the overall puzzle picture.
 
In Christian education, smaller things fit into bigger things. For example, what students study (smaller picture) fits into God's overarching story of creation-fall-redemption-restoration (bigger picture).
 
Implication: Ask your students, "How does what you study fit into God's story?" Don't ask, "How can you add God's story to what you study?" 
 
Why? Because this question increases the tendency of students to "purify" their studies by sprinkling on Bible verses. Because this question is actually not an effective question—it asks, "How can you fit the bigger picture into the smaller picture?" Because this question doesn't help students get the "big picture" perspective of what they study.

Target Biblical perspective. Get your students to fit what they study into God's story.

To get an idea of how your teachers can more effectively help students what they study and what the Bible teaches, complete the following assessment. Next, use your assessment data to develop action plans. Read More...
