Teaching Christianly: How to Live Out our Faith in Day-to-Day Choices
with Dr. David Mulder of Dordt University
What does it mean to be a teacher and a Christian at the same time? How do we carry the goodness of Christ with us into the classroom--whether in public or private schools? Dr. David Mulder joins us to share about what it means to "teach Christianly" and how even our smallest decisions in the classroom can be means of sharing God's Kingdom with the students and staff that we meet there.

About David Mulder
Dr. Dave has been teaching for a long time now, and while he takes his work very seriously, he tries to not take himself too seriously.
