Faith and Learning
There is no such thing as a "values neutral" education. No matter how hard an instructor may try, their beliefs will show through in their instruction. This is why I believe that continually working to strengthen my own faith is the most important thing I can do to integrate faith and learning. As I pursue Christ, I am constantly finding more examples of how God's word is the foundation for what we teach. This means that God's truth is infused in my courses, rather than something that is separate and awkwardly added on as an afterthought.
