In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we anchor ourselves in Philippians 3:12 and the powerful tension of the New Covenant life. The Apostle Paul reminds us that he has not already reached the goal, yet he presses forward because he has been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. This is not striving for acceptance but striving from acceptance.

In The First Pour, we explore the difference between Old Covenant performance and New Covenant union with Christ. We examine the already and the not yet reality of sanctification and what it means to pursue holiness because Christ has already secured our righteousness.

In The Second Pour, we celebrate birthdays, honor our School Resource Officer and his team, enjoy pizza day, and remind families that Open House launches open enrollment. Seats are now secured on a first come basis, so it is time to act with clarity and commitment.

In The Final Pour, we continue Part Four of our Parental Covenant series, focusing on Spiritual Partnership and Discipleship. We examine why alignment between home and academy is not merely procedural but theological. Under the New Covenant, transformation flows from the finished work of Christ and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. A Christian school cannot disciple effectively without unified conviction around the gospel.

This episode calls us to press on personally, celebrate faithfully, and stand together spiritually.

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we walk carefully through Philippians 3:8–11 and confront one of the most searching questions in the Christian life: What are we still counting as gain? Paul lays down his religious résumé, calls it loss, and fixes his eyes on something infinitely greater, knowing Christ. We explore what it means to be found in Him, to receive a righteousness not earned but given, and to live in the present power of His resurrection while sharing in His sufferings.

In the Second Pour, we celebrate alumni Jordan Hargis, students Kendall, Austin, and Terrence, and honor our Chairman of the Board and Associate Pastor, Dr. Mike Boarts. We also look ahead to spring athletics and the discipline that builds excellence long before game day.

In the Final Pour, we continue Part Three of our Parent Covenant series, examining what it truly means to align with the mission of Kingdom Education. From a New Covenant perspective, we consider why Scripture as absolute truth, Christ as central, and spiritual maturity as non-negotiable are not institutional preferences but theological necessities.

In today’s episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we open Philippians 3 with a sharp warning that protects the joy Paul just commanded. He tells believers to watch out for those who would turn faith into a flesh-based scoreboard, measuring standing with God by external markers and religious credentials (Phil 3:1–2). From there, Paul draws a clear New Covenant line: the true people of God are not defined by marks in the body but by worship empowered by the Spirit, a confidence rooted in Christ, and a refusal to trust in human status (Phil 3:3).

Paul then places his own résumé on the table to prove the point. If anyone could claim “confidence in the flesh,” it was him: heritage, law-keeping, zeal, and outward blamelessness (Phil 3:4–6). Yet he calls it all loss compared to Christ (Phil 3:7). This is the heart of New Covenant living: identity is no longer built on what we have achieved, inherited, or displayed, but on what Christ has fulfilled and secured. You will be challenged to examine what you are tempted to boast in, and to re-center your confidence where it belongs.

In the Second Pour, we celebrate alumni birthdays for Daronte McKethan and Brandon Young, enjoy pasta with meat sauce for lunch, and encourage our families to be strengthened in mid-week Bible studies at Berean Baptist Church.
