Former Faith Academy Bible Teacher Pleads Guilty to Sex With Student

Why Bible-Believing Christians Should Care

When a Bible teacher at a Christian school is convicted of abusing a student, the failure is not merely legal but a profound betrayal of the trust families place in institutions bearing Christ's name. Scripture holds those who lead and teach to a stricter accountability, and the protection of children is a non-negotiable mark of a faithful institution. Christian parents and school boards must not assume a Christian label guarantees safety; verified policies, background checks, and mandatory reporting must be actively enforced, not merely stated. This case is a sober reminder that institutional credibility is earned through consistent protection of the vulnerable, not through reputation alone.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. — Matthew 18:6

From the book

Parents have to regain control over what their children receive. Whether a family uses a Christian school, homeschools, or engages defensively inside the public system, the parent is the principal and the school is the delegate. Reject the expert wedge. Audit the curriculum. If a system denies the Imago Dei or the nature of truth at a foundational level, the parent has the sovereignty to remove the child or reform the system. We do not ask the state for permission to raise our children. We assert our jurisdiction.

— Chapter 18, “From Fortress to Base of Operations”
