I promise that I didn’t do it on purpose. I was not snooping around, but one early December day many years ago, in a moment of mindless meddling around the house, I found it.

I will never forget the sight and experience of my husband leading our church in worship the week after we lost our baby.

Undeniably, schools emphasize academic success, measured by students’ achievement, test scores, graduation, or college going. While these outcomes are essential, Christian education is called for a purpose beyond that.

How often, if we’re honest, have we re-gifted something given to us? The truth is that many of us have done it at some point. But what motivation lies beneath this act?

Leadership is challenging. I’m not sure if there is anyone who read that opening sentence and disagreed. I, however, am convinced that Christian leadership is even more challenging. The expectations that come with being a Christ-centered leader are often unfair and sometimes even unbiblical. Accountability can be seen as un-Christlike. Expectations can be seen as demanding. A firing can be the ultimate example of “lacking grace.” And you know what? Sometimes, as Christian leaders, we ar...| ACSI Blog
In today’s rapidly shifting educational landscape, schools face numerous challenges, such as increased anxiety, diminishing respect for teachers, and the devaluation of schools.
