Episode 16: Faith, Failure, and the Future of Education

In this episode of Gospel & Gradebooks, Timm and Jamie tackle some of the biggest education headlines making waves today—Texas' bill mandating the Ten Commandments in classrooms, the growing shift to four-day school weeks, and the debate over banning cell phones in schools. How do these issues impact teachers, students, and faith in education?

Then, they take a deep dive into the life of Abraham, a man known for his unwavering faith yet marked by human struggles. From leaving everything behind to follow God, to moments of weakness like lying about Sarah in Egypt and fathering Ishmael with Hagar, to the ultimate test of faith in nearly sacrificing Isaac—Abraham's story is one of triumph and trial. What can modern Christian educators learn from his journey? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on faith, failure, and trust in God's plan.
