Episode 60: Every Thought Captive

Written By Noah Brink

Join us for a reflective conversation with Mark Brink, 12th-grade Bible Teacher at Evangelical Christian School in Memphis, TN. Over his forty-nine years of teacher more than 5,000 high school students (most of them seniors), Mr. Brink’s life and career were marked by an unmistakable commitment to the gospel of Jesus. Our conversation ranged from topics about curriculum (both for his class, but also for an entire Bible department) and the importance of a clear philosophy to the relationship between academics and faith formation.

More than anything else, Mr. Brink’s faithfulness to the supremacy of the gospel and to his students is unmistakeable in our conversation, and that is the legacy that we hope can shape future Bible teachers for years to come.
