That was the story I carried for years. But today, I went searching for something different— a biblical per

🌿 Understanding the Biblical Covenants: A Personal Reflection
Recently, I spent time reading about the biblical covenants, and it opened up a deeper appreciation for how God has been faithfully weaving His redemptive plan throughout history. The covenants aren’t just ancient agreements—they are milestones of God’s heart, His promises, and His relentless pursuit of humanity. Here are my reflections on each of the major covenants, shaped by Scripture and supported by what I learned from biblical scholarship biblescholarship.com Wikiped

When God Acts: Beginning Again with Mark 1:1–15
Reflections from Pastor Christopher Chia’s sermon preached on 4 Jan 2026 The first Sunday of the year always carries a certain tenderness. We come with fresh hopes, quiet fears, and the weight of the year just passed. As the montage of ministry moments played—children laughing, youths worshipping, adults serving, seniors praying—I found myself watching not just events, but evidence. Evidence that God has been moving among us, shaping hearts in ways we often miss in the rush o

Gender Identity, Choice, and the Christian: A Coherent Summary of a Talk at a Christian Educator's Conference
The speakers began by grounding the entire conversation in Genesis —that God created us, and that our identity begins not with self‑construction but with discovery . As Christians, we are invited to embrace the beauty of creatureliness : the humility of being created, shaped, and known by God. Before we guide young people, we must first ask ourselves: Have we appreciated what it means to be a creature under God? 1. Why Gender Identity Conversations Must Start Early The speake

Every Face, Every Strength: Discovering the Beauty of Diverse Learners
At first glance, the image above may seem like a playful grid of cartoon faces—each with different hairstyles, colors, and expressions.

This is exactly how we see our students at Thinking Pathways Education . 🎨 Just as every face in the image reflects a different personality, every student who walks through our doors brin

Leading with Wisdom and Intuition: Servant Leadership in Education
The Gospel Coalition’s article How We Misunderstand Servant Leadership reminds us that servant leadership is often misinterpreted. It is not about doing all the work ourselves or simply yielding to others’ preferences. True servant leadership, as Jesus modeled, is about guiding with responsibility, protecting those we lead, and helping them flourish in their God-given roles. At Thinking Pathways Education , this truth shapes everything we do. We see leadership not as authori
