So there I was, walking the halls of international, private, DODEA, (Department of Defense Education Activity), charter, and finally, public schools. 

Like Ezekiel, there was one question I was challenged to answer, “Could these dry grounds live?” 

With a resounding YES, I echoed the words of Caleb, “Let us go up at once, and possess it: for we are well able to overcome it (Numbers 13:30).”  Paving a path in education leadership from Regent University to Columbia International University, I was delightfully blessed, encouraged, and sometimes aggressive in my convictions. I couldn’t believe that some of God’s people couldn’t see what I saw! Some were biblically blind so they could not see and deaf so they could not hear. “Lord, have mercy.”

God made it plain: in the future, I wouldn’t have a traditional classroom.  Instead, I would welcome and educate educators/paraprofessionals who should be able to effortlessly analog, compute, decipher, collaborate, read, write, and research at various levels. One major problem: these abilities were diminishing not only in students but also in educators simply because we were constantly relying on the wisdom of man versus the wisdom of God (Yikes)!

God also made this plain: to eradicate the many strongholds that negatively impact our nation’s classrooms, schools, and districts, it would take the wisdom of God, the name of Jesus, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Period.

Disciples in Education is set to turn public schools upside down, not just around.  If you turn me around, I will see where I’ve been in the past.  That’s not a pretty sight and it directly contradicts the concepts within the Word of God.  The Apostle Paul writes, “One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead (Philippians 3:13).  What’s ahead? The partnership of God, the eradication of education pipelines, an increase in His wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, and the mighty power of God to give life to recycled approaches in education… ALL WITHIN THE LAW!

Disciples in Education returns the educator to the God of the Bible: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. For believers, you’re being invited to legally return to a former way of conversation that should have never departed from our hearts and lips as members of the body of Christ. Those daily conversations include testimonials, praises, and songs pouring out of classrooms in education. Using Biblical examples from the Old Testament and the New Testament, disciples will conduct their classrooms under the instruction of the Holy Spirit. 

For the remnant who have been holding the charge of God in your school/district, God is sending you some help.  For those of you who don’t understand my written babble, we welcome you to get on board with an “aha” moment from Jesus himself, "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)."

Let’s go!
