Sons of the Father: Embracing Discipline in the New Covenant

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, Dr. Jack Farmer explores Hebrews 12:7–11 through a New Covenant theological lens. Drawing from Jewish tradition and the audience’s understanding of discipline under the Old Covenant, this First Pour reveals how divine correction is not punishment but proof of adoption. Under the New Covenant, discipline is redemptive, relational, and restorative evidence that we are true sons and daughters of God. Dr. Farmer unpacks how Christ’s fulfillment of the law transforms our understanding of hardship, shaping us into the likeness of Christ through the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

In the Second Pour, we share a rare quiet moment at BBA with no birthdays to announce, but plenty of exciting updates: the staff and student dress code is being released today, the supply list is live at bbafnc.org, class rosters are being finalized, and we are preparing for our August 16th Back-to-School Festival. The campus may be quiet, but the mission is in motion.
