                Favorite Verse\/Quote<\/div>\n
                \n

                “It is a sacred privilege and an awesome responsibility to be an educator… Education, at its best, molds the very ‘being’ of people- both who they become and how they live in the world. It is ontological. To be an educator is to stand on holy ground.” -Thomas Groome<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

                Why TFC<\/div>\n
                \n

                Serving emerging adults; how can it get any better? I love being an educator. Serving as an educator at TFC offers the opportunity to relate with students in and out of the classroom, to participate in their formation as whole persons, to guide them to think well theologically and critically, to help them learn how to ask good questions, and to encourage them toward greater self-awareness.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
