Roger Erdvig on 2 Corinthians 9:8In this episode of "In the Word, On the Go," Dr. Roger Erdvig, author and headmaster of Wilmington Christian School, discusses how 2 Corinthians 9:8 encourages us to be generous because God is gracious. Roger says, "A tight-fisted way of living is the opposite of the free-flowing shalom we find in God's Word. Generosity is so much bigger than just give to get."

ACSI: Moving Forward with Lynn SwanerBecoming More Intentional about Serving and LearningThis month’s podcast features guest host Dan Beerens, CACE Fellow, as he interviews Lynn Swaner and Roger Erdvig about their new book, Bring it to Life: Christian Education and the Power of Service-Learning. Ultimately, service-learning can help students to grow in their identity in Christ, and in their ability to be His agents of restoration in a broken world. They can learn about how they are uniquely created for good works (Ephesians 2:10) and can gain practical experience in walking in those works, with Christian school teachers as helpful mentors and guides.
