Teachers and Christian educators—now that the school year is underway, it’s the perfect moment to invest in both your students and yourself.
As a fellow Christian educator, I want to share two powerful resources from the Herzog Foundation that can help you this year.
First, the Faith & Freedom 250 video series. Every Friday, the Herzog Foundation releases a new story from America’s history—stories of faith, sacrifice, and courage that remind us our freedoms aren’t government-made, they’re God-given. These short videos are a perfect way to inspire your students, your family, or even your church as we approach America’s 250th birthday.
Second, the Herzog Foundation Institute offers free training events designed just for educators like you. In partnership with organizations like Answers in Genesis and the Museum of the Bible, these trainings provide hands-on strategies, biblical resources, and practical classroom tools to help you integrate faith and learning every single day. And the best part? They’re completely free to you and your school.
So whether you’re looking for fresh inspiration for your classroom or professional training to grow your ministry, the Herzog Foundation is here to come alongside you.
Explore the video series and find a training near you at HerzogFoundation.com.
