## Resource

In this episode of The Bulldog Update, Dr. Jack Farmer challenges the Berean Baptist Academy community to think deeply about what it truly means to live as followers of Christ in both identity and action. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:11–12, this reflection moves from who we are in Christ to how we are called to live in a world where we do not fully belong. As “strangers and exiles,” students and families are reminded that daily choices are not merely personal decisions but a visible testimony of the gospel to others. The episode highlights that the Christian life is not about external rule-following but about internal transformation through the Spirit, resulting in lives marked by honor, integrity, and good works that point others to God. Listeners are encouraged to consider whether their lives are drawing others toward Christ or creating barriers to the gospel. The Moments of Celebration recognize student birthdays, athletic events, and an upcoming student production of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, reinforcing the importance of community engagement. In the Moment of Connection, Dr. Farmer provides clarity on collaboration within BBA’s leadership culture. Grounded in a biblical framework, he explains that while collaboration is essential, it must be purposeful and aligned with clearly defined roles. True unity is not found in broad inclusion in every decision, but in faithful alignment to mission under Christ’s headship.
