God has given us his Word to teach us, rebuke us, and grow us (2 Tim 3:16).\u00a0 A life lived disconnected from the steady input of God through His Word soon withers.<\/p><p>It is God\u2019s Word that teaches us the excellencies of Christ, encouraging us to trust and follow the grandest one. Through His Word, we learn of the grander story and our place in it. In His Word, we find perspective when we encounter the pains and trials of living in this part of God\u2019s story.\u00a0 God\u2019s Word provides perspective and wisdom in times of both controversy and comfort.\u00a0 It motivates us in times of discouragement, instructs and nourishes us that we might grow into maturity in Christ (1 Peter 2:2). If Christian professors hope to lead the way in advancing God\u2019s grander story, they must be men and women who drink deeply from God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f12280 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5f12280\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e02eb4d\" data-id=\"e02eb4d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f641bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5f641bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Importance of a Local Church<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7f02422 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7f02422\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-886a60f\" data-id=\"886a60f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a464d6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a464d6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A strong local church is ideally the place to grow in one\u2019s understanding of God\u2019s Word and His story. The mutual accountability of community leads us away from the dangers of autonomy.\u00a0 We all need to move from &#8220;getting to giving.&#8221;\u00a0 Even with all its imperfections, the local church provides that opportunity.\u00a0 So we encourage you to not only avail yourself of opportunities to grow there but to also seize opportunities to teach. We all know that the process of teaching helps the teacher \u201cgrow\u201d more than the students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>Many churches have podcasts or online resources that you might find helpful as well. Redeemer Church in New York City offers multiple resources, including Tim Keller\u2019s weekly teaching. With a rare combination of cultural awareness, intellectual depth, and biblical faithfulness, Dr. Keller is certainly a valuable current resource for Christian academics<\/p><p>Of course, \u201cgrowing in Christ\u201d means more than simply growing in biblical and theological knowledge, but also growing in Christian character. In an environment where individuals gain worth (or lose it) on the basis of intellectual prowess, it is easy to forget that simple gestures of kindness, gratitude, and a willingness to serve can make huge statements in a department, amongst peers, and with students. Living and worshipping with a diverse community helps us develop such Christ-like character and Christ-like wisdom.<\/p><p>We need that help because all of us experience at times rich intellectual inquiry, successful teaching, and public recognition, but also times of harsh mistreatment, underappreciated toil, and disappointing failure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>God&#8217;s Word and God&#8217;s people in community help sustain and guide us through the poignant victories and defeats in such a story.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-39e626b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"39e626b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-162295d\" data-id=\"162295d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a989b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9a989b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Rick Hove and Heather Holleman<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The single, most foundational, \u201cfirst step\u201d for every Christian professor is to prioritize his or her personal growth in Christ.\u00a0 Everything we do \u2013 research, teaching and service \u2013 flows out of our Christian identity, out from our personal walk with God.
