How do y'all interact with your students when it comes to faith and your religion? Do your students know that you're a religious person?
I'm a youth leader at one of our local churches and I often talk to students who attend church about the services we have or suggest they should bring people.
Additionally, I have also started posting short videos on my instagram where I give a little encouraging message usually accompanied by a bible verse. Just a little something to show Jesus to students.

Let them see my faith by my actions...as a teacher I cannot bring it up...but if they bring it up I can openly talk about it.

Kids ask what I do on the weekend. I tell them. Saturday - men's Bible study. Sunday - church. If they have questions, I answer them. In plain sight ony desk, among other books, is a bible.

In our class, we usually share our weekend. I usually share religious activities that I do.

I can’t say anything about my faith due to the culture of the school and district. It is considered to be inappropriate.

I don’t bring it up, but if they ask if I’m religious, I tell them I’m a Christian. Sometimes they ask which church I attend, and I tell them. I hope my actions and interactions are such that they can see God in me.

Additional Posts in Christian Teachers in Prayer

What’s your prayer as the school year is about to unfold?

Does anyone out there agree that so much of the violence we are seeing in schools and society is a spiritual problem and not necessarily a political one? I’m not opposed to gun reform, but I think as long as a human being desires to hurt others, keeping people safe will be very difficult.

Just wanted to share something I do that helps. Before class and before my students come in, I say a prayer for strength, courage, and wisdom that day. I pray that I will reflect God’s love in my interactions with my students, and that they will see Him in me. It helps keep me calm and focused, especially when the kids are all over the place. Not forcing my beliefs on anyone, just having a private moment with God. Give it a try. It is powerful.

I just wanted to reach out and let you all know I understand how tired and beat down we all feel at this point in the year. I’m feeling it too. I also know exactly how students can try us. What I’m working on every day though is to see my kids as God does… not the kids that know how to push buttons and drive me crazy, but as the beautiful lives they are, all deserving of the best we can give them every day. I know it’s not easy, but that’s what I’m working on.
