## Resource

In this episode of the Bulldog Morning Update, Dr. Jack Farmer walks through 1 Peter 3:3–4 and challenges us to shift our focus from outward appearance to the lasting beauty of a Christ-shaped heart. Rooted in a New Covenant understanding, this reflection reminds us that while outward things fade, the character formed by the Spirit is imperishable and of great worth in God’s sight. We also celebrate birthdays, gather for Convocation, and look ahead to opening night of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, while pausing to recognize the steady rhythm of school life. As Teacher Appreciation Week continues, today’s focus highlights a deeper truth. Teachers do far more than instruct. They carry burdens, provide stability, and often serve as a consistent voice of truth and care in the lives of students. Drawing from Galatians 5:13 and 6:2, this episode connects their daily work to the love of Christ lived out in action. This is a reminder that what lasts is not what is seen on the surface, but what is formed in the heart and lived out through faithful service.
