Set Apart to Serve: Holiness, Humor, and Honoring Staff
Manage episode 484308677 series 3622881
In the May 23, 2025, episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jackie Farmer explores Leviticus 20:22–26 in The Holy Spirit’s Water, reflecting on the call to holiness for Israel and how that same call carries forward into the New Covenant. Holiness was connected to the land for ancient Israel—but now, through Christ, believers are being prepared for an eternal Kingdom. Peter quotes this very passage to remind Christians of their identity as a people set apart, made holy through Christ.
In The Grind, we celebrate the birthdays of Khylei (1st grade) and Torren (Kindergarten) and offer a lighthearted correction about the A/B Day exam schedule. Today is A-Day, and 7th–12th grade dismisses at 11:35 AM.
In The Add-Ins, Dr. Farmer discusses Standard 15, Indicator 2, highlighting how BBA is intentionally raising teacher compensation over the next three years to 80% of the state public school pay scale. With added benefits like group insurance, tuition discounts, paid professional development, and wellness stipends, BBA is committed to valuing and retaining the Christian educators who carry out its mission each day.
This episode challenges us to walk in holiness, embrace joy, and care deeply for the people who make ministry possible.
