138. How Christian Teachers Can Bring Faith, Truth and Worldview in the Classroom
Kingdom Educators with Jesica GloverShow Notes
What does it actually mean to bring a Christian worldview into education? In this thought-provoking conversation, Jesica is joined by Billy Hutchinson, Director of Colson Educators at The Colson Center, to explore why worldview matters and how it shapes the way we teach, learn, lead, and engage with culture. Drawing from his experience as a teacher, administrator, and worldview educator, Billy explains how our beliefs influence the way we perceive, interpret, and respond to the world around us. Together, they discuss identity, calling, truth, critical thinking, and practical ways Christian educators can cultivate worldview formation in their classrooms—whether they serve in public schools, private schools, homeschools, or educational leadership. This conversation will encourage you to think more deeply about the role faith plays in education and how God can use your influence to help students pursue what is true, good, and beautiful. If you've ever wondered how to faithfully bring your faith into education beyond simply adding Bible verses to what you already do, this episode offers a practical and encouraging starting point.

Together, we’ll slow down with Scripture and explore Jesus’ invitation to bring Him what we’re carrying, receive His care, and take our next faithful step with Him. In this episode, we explore:
What does staying connected to Jesus actually look like when students need you and your plans unravel?

We’ll explore:
What would change if you walked into school already secure in how deeply you are loved? Friend, you know Jesus loves you.
