Summary
In this episode of The Bulldog Update, Dr. Jack Farmer walks through 1 Peter 2:18–20 and brings the conversation into one of the hardest realities of the Christian life, enduring unjust treatment. Rooted in a New Covenant understanding, this reflection challenges listeners to move beyond external obedience and into a daily awareness of God that shapes how we respond when life is not fair. The focus is clear. When we do what is right and still suffer, our response becomes a powerful witness to the world and reflects the example of Christ. The episode also celebrates members of the Berean family, recognizing faculty member and alumna Bianca Farmer and alumnus Robert Daniels, while sharing a simple moment of community connection through the daily lunch menu. Finally, Dr. Farmer explains what truly defines Berean Baptist Academy through the lens of Teaching for Transformation. This is more than a strategy. It is a commitment to forming students who see every subject through the truth of Christ and live out the core values of love, unity, Christlikeness, and a God-glorifying life. The vision is not only academic success, but transformed lives prepared to live with purpose and conviction.
