S3-E10: Self Control and the Scholar - How the Fruit of the Spirit Shapes Teaching
<p>Co-hosts Dr. Alexandra Barnett and Dr. Melissa Clemmons welcome Dr. Bruce Bell, Adjunct Professor of English in the College of Arts and Sciences at Liberty University, for a rich conversation on the fruit of self-control in the life of a Christian educator. Together, they explore how self-control—when produced by the Holy Spirit—guides faculty through academic life, from grading deadlines to classroom dynamics. This episode reflects on how self-control helps scholars respond with grace, lead with wisdom, and teach with integrity, even in moments that test patience and resolve. It’s an honest look at how spiritual discipline can shape not only what we teach but also how we live out our calling in higher education.</p><p><br></p>
