Called to Follow: Christ’s Example and the Hidden Weight of Teaching

In this episode of the Bulldog Morning Update, Dr. Jack Farmer walks through a powerful passage from 1 Peter 2:21–25, reminding us that following Christ includes both suffering and transformation. Jesus did not merely save us from sin, He showed us how to live through it. When wronged, He did not retaliate but entrusted Himself to the Father, and we are called to walk in those same steps.   As the school community celebrates birthdays, enjoys nachos for lunch, and looks forward to this week’s production of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, attention is also given to Teacher Appreciation Week. This episode highlights a deeper truth about what makes Berean Baptist Academy what it is.   Teachers carry a weight that is rarely seen. They shape minds, shepherd hearts, and stand accountable for both truth and influence. Drawing from James 3:1, this episode explores the spiritual and practical responsibility teachers bear each day, and why honoring them matters.   This is a call to recognize, appreciate, and support those who faithfully serve in the classroom, living out their calling with quiet strength and Christlike purpose.
