Teachers

Teachers come in many forms—parents, mentors, friends, and leaders in Church. They are the ones who pour time, patience, and wisdom into our lives, often without recognition. Their commitment is ferocious, and selfless. Whether it's explaining truth, correcting with love, or simply showing up again and again, godly teachers help shape us into who we’re called to be.

Proverbs 9:9 says, “Teach a wise man, and he will be the wiser; teach a good man, and he will learn more” (TLB). Good teachers don’t just pass on information—they awaken growth. Their influence lingers long after the lesson ends, helping us walk the path of life with greater understanding and courage.

Let’s honour the teachers in our lives. Their efforts are never wasted; their words, guided by God, carry eternal value. Who is it you are thinking of right now and what will you do to honour them?
