Faith That Stabilizes: Hypostasis, Hemostasis, and the Hope of Christ

In this special episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer shares a heartfelt update about the future direction of the podcast, explaining a new format designed to better serve the Berean Baptist Academy community. From now on, “The First Pour” will continue daily—bringing you biblical devotions rooted in New Covenant Theology—while faculty-focused insights and parenting encouragement will move to their own regular releases.

Today’s devotion explores Hebrews 11:1 through a profound and original metaphor: comparing “hypostasis” (faith’s assurance) with “hemostasis” (the body’s regulation of balance and healing).

With clarity and depth, Dr. Farmer explains how faith, like the body’s regulatory systems, is a stabilizing force under the New Covenant—one that anchors the soul in Christ’s finished work, not our efforts.

Plus, stay tuned for birthday celebrations of our Bulldogs and important back-to-school announcements. It’s a refreshing new season of Coffee with the Superintendent, and today’s episode sets the tone with both theological depth and practical love for our school family.
