Should I be happy with just receiving my 3rd promotion in less than 2.5 years to Senior Consultant? Company growing fast, tenured employees getting burnt out/leaving and room opened up to move up quickly. Change in leadership recently as well.

Do you guys feel like Biden is actually the cause of the unemployment rate being down? In 18 states where the rate is down significantly, 15 of them are run by republicans... just saying. Everyone's praising him for bringing the economy back but I'm still unemployed...and the cost of living is more pricey than ever.

Friends, are you ready to take the 'good person' test?

1) How many lies have you told in your lifetime?

2) How many times have you stolen anything regardless of value?

3) How many times have you looked at a person with lust?

4) How many times have you used 'Jesus' or 'Christ' in place of a flithy cuss word?

The bad news is we all fail the test. The good news is that Jesus paid the price for us, so that if we repent and trust in Him we can enter beautiful Heaven and avoid horrendous Hell.

Friends:

'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.' (Matthew 5). I am so glad that the Lord showed me that I am poor in spirit.

Even in the Christian world, we can learn from secular teachers and scholars who have familiarized themselves with Biblical principles, even if they do not realize it. Who are some of these that you follow? Do you follow them often or sporadically? Currently I'm listening to the Jordan Peterson podcasts....www.jordanbpeterson.com/podcast/. Lots of great information from this psychologist who eventually found Christ. He has several audio books out as well. Worth your time to listen IMO...

Praying for our children and educators in the day and age has become a must. So glad to be a part of this group. God Bless you all❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸🌎

Glad to be hear folks. I am sure I am not alone but I have experienced many attacks from my administration for simply answering questions about my faith in class or telling students I do not believe in abortion. Hoping to find some insights from others here in regards to still being a Christian example in public education without losing my job.

For those who work in public schools - how do you manage maintaining your faith without also promoting too heavily, things which are contrary to it? I am increasingly struggling with this. Thank you

How can we be praying for you this week?

"Christian" has become a confusing term for many in the outside world, I believe largely because it is used to describe a wide variety of denominations, each teaching something theologically unique.
What denomination do you most identify with? Did you grow up in this denomination, or did you arrive at this understanding later in life?

Welcome to "Christian Educators" bowl! Here, educators whose faith comes first can meet, collaborate, and exhort one another as we navigate the difficult task of educating children and adults in a broken world, whether teaching in public, private, or co-op schools.

Have a blessed Advent and a new Church year!
