In the May 25, 2025 Memorial Day episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jackie Farmer reflects on Leviticus 23:9–14 in The Holy Spirit’s Water, drawing a connection between the Old Testament Feast of Firstfruits and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Just as Israel gave God their first and best from the harvest, Jesus became the Firstfruits of all who will rise again, reminding believers that sacrifice is not the end—but the beginning of eternal promise.

In The Grind, the community celebrates Mason (5th grade) and Mrs. Kurschner (Preschool) on their birthdays, pausing to appreciate the gift of life and growth within the school family.

In The Add-Ins, Dr. Farmer honors the lives of Captain Christopher Scott Seifert, a fellow soldier with whom he served in Germany, and Staff Sergeant Matthew Steven Sitton, a former Sunday School student and paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne. Both men gave their lives in service to our nation, and their stories anchor this episode’s call to remembrance. With over 1.3 million U.S. military deaths across history and 81,000 still missing in action, this episode challenges listeners to remember, to teach the next generation, and to live lives worthy of the freedoms we’ve inherited.

This episode is a heartfelt tribute to sacrifice, a lesson in Christian hope, and a solemn reminder that freedom always has a name.
