A Living Hope and a Bold Mission

In this episode of the Bulldog Update, Dr. Jack Farmer reflects on 1 Peter 1:3–4, reminding the Berean Baptist Academy community that believers have been given new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Peter points us away from temporary things and toward the eternal inheritance that Christ has secured for His people. While the Old Covenant promises once centered on the land of Canaan, the New Covenant reveals something greater: an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for those who belong to Christ. This living hope steadies our hearts and shapes the way we live each day.   The episode also celebrates members of the Bulldog family with birthday recognitions and marks the conclusion of the third quarter with today’s half-day dismissal. Dr. Farmer invites the school community to pray for wisdom and discernment as the hiring committee interviews candidates and considers its recommendation for the Elementary School Assistant Principal position.   Finally, the Moment of Connection highlights Berean Baptist Academy’s fourth Expected Stakeholder Outcome: Share the Gospel Boldly. Rooted in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, this segment reminds listeners that Christian education is not only about knowledge but about forming disciples who carry the message of Christ into every calling and every community where God leads them.
