“Men and women are different, and these differences should be seen not through an evolutionary or competitive perspective, but as an integral part of God's design.” — Ben Schettler

In this episode of the Teacher Edition podcast, host Jenny Copeland sits down with Ben Schettler, founder and CEO of The Center for Truth in Love. Ben brings his expertise on engaging the next generation — Gen Z and Gen Alpha — with truth and love amid a rapidly changing cultural landscape. They uncover a variety of lies about identity, love, and communication and discuss how educators can help students build a strong worldview despite the overwhelming worldview deficits and challenges students are dealing with each day.  

Important topics discussed: 

Ben states, “They don’t know who they are. They don’t know how to love. They don’t know how to disagree,” and reminds educators of their unique opportunity to shape the lives of their students with biblical truth, while instilling hope and purpose for “such a time as this.”  Encourage open dialogue and foster classroom discussions where students can explore and understand different perspectives while also holding onto Biblical foundational truths. Ben also provides educators with multiple resources to help do this well.  

Every day in the classroom is your day to impact and inspire through God's power and also through his grace working in you. Go do what God has called you to do.
