Episode 45: Culture of Grace

Written By Noah Brink

It's extremely common for Christian Schools to claim to be cultures of Grace, yet these very same schools either struggle to have clear understandings of what that means in practice or they're actually scared of moving in that direction because of the friction it will cause. It's increasingly normal to want order, structure, consistency, and everything "appearing" stable; grace means that things will get messier. It means that we'll have to embrace the hard work of prioritizing lasting change and transformation about the easy of conformity. But, that's where the good news of the gospel becomes most felt in the lives of our kids.

Host Noah Brink provides a theological foundation for the necessity of grace - grace in our schools and in the life of the Christian. We'll also provide definitions, implications, and press us to understand the distinctives of the school that's more interested in grace than rules and rigidity.
