Training Resilient Disciples: A Conversation with Dr. Dean Ridder

If we want the results, we have to train. Similarly, if we want our children to grow up to be resilient disciples for Jesus, it’s up to us as parents and educators to provide the training. We discuss this with our guest Dr. Dean Ridder, Head of School of Isaac Newton Christian Academy, on this episode of the Clearly Christian Podcast.

They happen in education, too. To take it one step deeper, in Christian Education. What we can learn from the business community, as far as growth, navigating change, and even customer service in the form of servant leadership, is immense.
