Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David

Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Educating children in biblical wisdom is more important than ever, as we live in a culture

increasingly hostile to the things of faith.

In today's episode, Paul wants to help administrators, teachers, and parents how to best

support their students' education from a biblical perspective as we listen to the first session

in his conference material, your Christian school, a culture of grace.

If you enjoy today's content, you can purchase the full

conference at paultrip.com slash school. Here's Paul on running a Christian school.

Well, I want to start with this question today.

Why is teaching so difficult?

If you pay attention to your day, you never, you never, ever have a day where you just get to do the educational task.

Some of you are laughing. You never,

ever just get to be an educator. Now, there's a real significant reason for that. The reason you can't just be an educator is because there are children in the room.

Well, maybe we should even be more honest than that.

The reason you can't just be an educator is because you're in the room.

There are people in the room.

And so the process of education is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever,

have I said that enough, just this thing of dissemination of knowledge?

Oh, would that be fun?

If I could actually unabated, uninterrupted, unobstructed, actually do my lesson plan.

You never have that day. You never will.
