Enjoying the Bible: How to Equip Students to Read with Imagination (Not Just For Information)
Thursday October 24, 2024 10:45am - 11:45am EDT
222 + 228
How many of our students - and us! - read the Bible primarily for "information" (asking what does this passage "mean" and how do I "apply" it)? Let's experience the Bible in a way that better accounts for its poetry, songs, and apocalypses; as a Spirit-inspired work of art meant to stir our imaginations, move us emotionally, and captivate our hearts, not just our heads.

Faith Of Our Fathers.....LIVING Still!
Thursday October 24, 2024 10:45am - 11:45am EDT
137
Join this father/daughter duo in interactive, guided dialogue around the beauty and calling of Christian education. Together let's learn from the past and lean into the future as we seek to continue to bring glory to our God in growing this next generation of Kingdom Workers.
Join Miska Rynsburger and her dad, Ken Kuipers, in a participatory conversational jaunt as we look back over the past seventy years of Christian Schools, while at the same time, exploring the future. At the 1934 National Union of Christian Schools (NUCS) Convention in Englewood, IL, Dr W. Harry Jellema shared concern that if ‘Christian Schools continue to be outgrowths of group custom (Dutch subculture)…the life and world view will lose its vitality and Christians Schools will cease to be’. The implication is for those who follow to be sure that they are able to articulate the mission and flourish as a relevant school for families today.

Reformed Refreshment
Thursday October 24, 2024 10:45am - 11:45am EDT
253
Have you considered the spiritual significance of your teaching efforts? Do you align your work with the principles of the kingdom of God? Do you approach your work with true passion and dedication? It is often suggested that educators must choose between prioritizing their students or the subject matter, but have you ever thought about the fact that, in reality, you are teaching others about God? These questions prompt deep reflection, especially for those teaching within institutions with a Reformed tradition. Peter’s goal in this session is to inspire you to rekindle your passion for teaching and to recognize the profound impact of educating others from a Reformed Christian perspective.
