## Resource

In this episode of the Bulldog Morning Update, Dr. Jack Farmer walks through 1 Peter 2:21–23 and brings it down to where we live every day. Christ did not just suffer for us. He showed us how to suffer, how to respond, and how to trust God when we are treated unfairly. This is not theoretical. It is a calling. When insulted, He did not retaliate. When wronged, He entrusted Himself to the Father. That same posture is what we are called to live out. From there, we celebrate the life of our school community through birthdays, events, athletics, and the arts, recognizing that God is at work in each moment. Finally, in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week, we begin a five-part focus on what makes BBA truly special. Today highlights the first reason: teachers are not simply delivering information. They are shaping lives. Through daily investment in character, discipline, and truth, they participate in the deeper work of formation that often bears fruit long after students leave the classroom.
