“The most priceless thing we have ever been given is a child.” –David Gibbs, Jr.
“The first priority of every Christian school and every Christian educator is to be sure that you lead every child to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.” –David Gibbs, Jr.
“Listen, long after you're with the Lord in eternity, you will live on in those kids.” –David Gibbs, Jr.
In this episode of the Teacher Edition podcast, join host Jenny as she welcomes the founder and president of Christian Law Association. On bended knee and in prayer many years ago, David Gibbs, Jr. and his wife asked this question, “Could God use a lawyer for a ministry?” The answer came swiftly and multiplied quickly. David Gibbs Jr., has stood in hundreds of courtrooms facing battles for religious liberties for many years. In this episode Attorney Gibb’s wise words will inspire you to keep standing in freedom and teaching the children God has placed in your classroom.
Christian schools and educators are facing more and more pushback defending Biblical principles in the United States. Attorney Gibbs’ extensive legal experience supporting and representing thousands of people in the courtroom has led him to recognize eight distinct characteristics in the heart of every Christian school and Christian educator.
Lead every child to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Developing a knowledge of the word of God.
Teach every student how to lead others to Christ.
Learning the fear of God.
Teach every child to be holy.
Understand the stewardship of life.
Teach them biblical excellence.
Teach them how to worship God.
Each of these characteristics asks of us if we are exuding these qualities in our hearts and throughout the day in the classrooms. As educators, we have the honor and privilege of teaching the future generation with a Biblical foundation. Dr. Gibbs, Jr. helps fight for and maintain these rights for Christian educators, especially in a world that is saying to tone it down.
“Our courtrooms are here not the answer…You are the answer for the whole future of America.” –David Gibbs, Jr.
Every day in the classroom is an opportunity to impact and inspire through God’s power and grace.
Go do what God has called you to do!
“When we lose the right to have Christian education, you have lost the future of a country.” –David Gibbs, Jr.

“Standing is our part; winning is God's part.” –David Gibbs, Jr.

“Even precious believers can be wrecked by substances. It’s critical to equip our kids with the right knowledge and support.” — Peyton Snyder
Are Christian schools immune from substance abuse challenges?
Pressures are increasingly rising for our students, their families, and even among those working in Christian schools.
Jenny sits down with Peyton Snyder to discuss this eye-opening topic. Peyton’s extensive history in counseling and her current role as a director of withdrawal management and medication-assisted treatment at the Phoenix Center in Greenville, SC. She offers her firsthand experience on the impact of addiction to substances and how it can affect anyone. Peyton shares the realities and the eye-opening statistics to bring awareness and offer support for teachers, students, and families.
Throughout their conversation, they explore and answer questions like:
What are some common misconceptions around drugs and alcohol?
Why are Christian school environments not immune to these issues?
How can educators communicate effectively with students?
If people know alcohol and drugs are bad, why do they partake?
Peyton challenges Christian school communities to create an environment where students feel safe and supported. Allowing students a place to ask questions, grow in their faith, and understand the world around them will empower and encourage your students to make wise choices. As Peyton states, “As parents and as educators, we absolutely should be the safest and most trustworthy person for our children to come and ask these questions.”
Come back for Part Two as Jenny and Peyton share valuable resources to help Christian educators.
Every day in the classroom is an opportunity to impact and inspire through God’s power and grace.
Go do what God has called you to do!

"But any school that unashamedly says, ‘Hey, I want to not only give these kids a good education, but a Christ-centered worldview,’ we think it is so valuable to at least have a digital panic button that we offer every school in America, every church in America, completely free of charge, zero charge — a digital panic button." –Jim Boyte

"If you're a teacher, you're inside of your classroom, or if you're out on a playground, you're technically that first responder, right? You're the first person that is there and can help render aid to this person." — Sandy Gaddy
The Teacher Edition podcast, hosted by Jenny Copeland, welcomes Sandy Gaddy, account executive at Active Defender. As educators, life-saving preparedness rarely makes our daily priority list among lesson planning, meetings, and countless other responsibilities.

Sandy’s background in firefighting and being an EMS provider gives him unique insight into crisis response. Sandy helps organizations with safety protocols and emergency preparedness, working specifically with schools to ensure educators have the knowledge and tools to protect lives effectively.
Episode Highlights:
